Gurgaon officials seal several farmhouses for carrying out commercial activities without permission

The district administration in Gurgaon sealed several illegal farmhouses, including that of popular Bollywood singer Mika Singh, in village Roz ka Gujjar yesterday. A state government spokesman said that the farmhouses were illegally running small tourism units and other commercial activities.

`As per the orders of Deputy Commissioner PC Meena, a team of local officers, including SDM (sub-divisional magistrate), Gurgaon South, Vivek Kalia, District Town Planner Anil Dabas, Divisional Forest Officer Ranjeeta, officials of the revenue department and Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) with the help of police inspected the farmhouses. On finding commercial activities there, these farmhouses were sealed, ` the spokesman said.

Meena had directed district officials to inspect the Roz ka Gujjar village area in Sohna tehsil of the district for violations by illegal farmhouses. The National Green Tribunal had raised objection to running of commercial activities in village Roz Ka Gujjar, saying that 75 per cent area falls under forest area.


In February this year, the district authorities had recovered 10 acres of land from singer Daler Mehndi, elder brother of Mika Singh.The court of the SDM at Sohna in Haryana had served Daler a 15-day notice for another 100 acres of land in his possession.

The court restored the possession of 10 acres land under occupation of the singer to the Sohna town municipal committee. `In the light of tourism activities going on in the area, which is a non-forestry activity, notices were issued and the owners were asked to stop commercial activities, ` the spokesman said.
