The

registries executed in unauthorised colonies during the lockdown period.
The
illegal registry of plots at unauthorised colonies has emerged as a major
concern in the city. Keeping this in view, the Haryana government had stopped
registries in the state till August 17.

without a non-objection certificate (NOC) from the department of town and
country planning (DTCP) in the areas notified under Section 7A of Haryana
Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975 as controlled area.
“Two
registry was executed in this period in Chauma village which comes under 900
metre area of the Air Force station in Gurgaon and as per the SC direction not
registry is allowed in this area,” Yadav said.

alleged in May and June this year, around 1,070 illegal registries were
executed in the Gurgaon district in connivance of land mafia and revenue
