Authorities in Panchkula initiated a major enforcement drive in Barona Khud village, Tehsil Raipur Rani, targeting unauthorised construction activity. The operation, led by the District Town Planner, resulted in the demolition of 15 illegal damp proof course structures. Officials explained that prior notices had been served to the individuals responsible, but as no voluntary compliance followed, the department moved forward with direct action.
The drive was conducted in the presence of senior officers to ensure transparency and accountability, with strong police deployment arranged to maintain law and order during the process. The department clarified that the action was part of a larger effort to curb illegal development and ensure that planning regulations are adhered to strictly across the district.
Authorities emphasised that the construction of colonies, commercial units, or other forms of development without proper approvals remains unlawful under the existing framework. Any such project requires prior sanction from the Director of the Town and Country Planning Department, Haryana. Residents and developers were urged to avoid bypassing procedures, as further violations would invite strict legal consequences.
The administration reiterated that no construction or land development should commence without the mandatory Change of Land Use permission or a valid licence from the competent authority. Officials stated that the drive in Barona Khud was only one part of a continuing crackdown and that similar action will be taken wherever irregularities are detected in the future.
By acting against violators who ignored repeated notices, officials have underscored the importance of following proper regulatory processes. The warning issued to the public serves as both a reminder and a deterrent, reinforcing that compliance with land-use permissions and licences is essential. This action reflects the government's intent to maintain order in urban planning and prevent unauthorised growth across the region.
