Mob attacks DTCP's demolition drive team in Sec 87, 1 wounded
Gurugram, Sept. 9 -- An enforcement team of the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) was allegedly pelted with stones by miscreants during a demolition drive in Kankrola village of Gurugram's Sector 87 on Monday afternoon, leaving the driver of an earth-moving machine wounded, officers said.
The attack took place around 3pm when enforcement officials, accompanied by Gurugram police, moved in to demolish illegal warehouses built over 6.8 acres in the revenue estate of Kankrola. Officials said there are about 12 warehouses on the land.
"We had issued notices to the warehouse owners and asked them to remove the structures, as these are illegal. Today our team, comprising six to seven officials, accompanied by Gurugram police, began the demolition drive when the attack happened," said a DTCP official present at the spot.
The injured driver was identified as Ganguly (single name), police said. Officials added that three warehouses had been partially demolished when 40 to 50 youths began pelting stones. "The attack was so intense that the earthmover was badly damaged and the vehicle's driver was badly injured. The enforcement and police team were forced to retreat, as there were around 150 people opposing the drive," the official added.
District town planner (enforcement) Amit Madholia said, "We have submitted a complaint for an FIR... Action will be taken against all those involved."
Police registered a case at Kherki Daula police station against Rakesh Hayatpuria, Parshad Ajit, Ram Avtar, Satbir, Avenue 26 Realty and 60 others under BNS provisions.
ACP Manesar Virender Saini said, "We have video recordings... Necessary legal action will be taken against them soon."...
