Authorities in Gurugram have intensified their crackdown on illegal use of stilt parking areas in residential buildings. The Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) identified violations in 1,137 homes across 19 licensed colonies, with DLF phases reporting the highest number of cases.
Officials found that many stilt parking spaces, originally approved for vehicle parking, were illegally converted into rooms, offices, guest houses, shops, and PG accommodations. The misuse has reportedly increased roadside parking, traffic congestion, and infrastructure pressure in several residential sectors.
The action follows concerns raised by the Punjab and Haryana High Court regarding the impact of Stilt+4 constructions on Gurugram’s urban infrastructure, including parking, roads, drainage systems, and emergency access.
