Illegal Colonies Razed: Yamunanagar Cracks Down on Unauthorized Development
Yamunanagar authorities carried out a major demolition drive on Friday, July 11, 2025, razing roads in four unauthorized colonies spanning 16 acres across Radaur town and Gheshpur village. The action, backed by the district administration and police, followed the issuance of notices under the Urban Area Act of 1975.
The demolition targeted infrastructure built without the necessary permissions. Authorities cited violations of building regulations as the primary reason for the action.
Residents of these colonies were previously warned about the illegality of the constructions. The administration stressed the importance of adhering to legal building processes.
The district administration issued a strong warning against further unauthorized construction and the buying or selling of plots in these illegal colonies. This decisive action serves as a stark reminder of the legal consequences of ignoring urban planning regulations.
This crackdown highlights the ongoing struggle against illegal construction in Haryana, impacting not only urban planning but also the safety and well-being of residents in such unplanned settlements. The move underscores the need for stricter enforcement of building regulations to prevent future haphazard development.
