Gurgaon Land Seized After Housing Project Licence Cancelled
2 Sep
Summary
- Gurgaon's DTCP is taking possession of land from a cancelled housing project.
- Sale and lease transactions are now prohibited for the 5.10-acre project.
- Public notice will be issued regarding the project's status and third-party rights.
In Gurgaon, the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) is proceeding to take possession of land for the OSB The Venetian affordable housing project, located in Sector 70. This follows the cancellation of the project's licence approximately three weeks ago. The DTCP has imposed restrictions on any sale or lease transactions involving the 5.10-acre site.
Reasons cited for the licence cancellation include significant construction delays and breaches of regulatory compliance. The DTCP has formally requested coordinated action from the district administration, revenue officials, and town planning authorities. A public notice board will be erected at the site, and advertisements will be placed in newspapers to inform the public.
The DTCP is also seeking details on any third-party rights that may have been established within the colony. Local registration authorities have been instructed not to process any sale or lease deeds for the affected land without prior DTCP approval. Red entries will be made in revenue records against the relevant land parcels, indicating the licence cancellation and that the land now belongs to the DTCP.
Furthermore, the department has advised the public and unit allottees against making further payments to the developer. Those who have already purchased property in the project are required to submit their transaction details and payment receipts to the senior town planner's office within 15 days of the public notice. This comprehensive enforcement mechanism includes verification of interests, registration restrictions, revenue record changes, public disclosure, and physical land possession.
