The Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) has escalated its action against unauthorised constructions in Gurugram's DLF phases 1-5, recommending the revocation of occupation certificates (OCs) for 843 additional properties. This includes 583 EWS category houses and 169 general category units. The move follows an earlier order targeting 1,588 properties, bringing the total number of affected homes to 2,431.

The decision has sparked concerns among homeowners, many of whom claim they were issued valid OCs at the time of purchase. While some residents criticise the move as unfair, others welcome it as a necessary step to address urban planning issues. Authorities plan to commence sealing and demolition drives in April, while affected residents explore legal options.
