Green belt encroached with officials’ support, say residents

By Sumit Blogs -

Gurgaon: Some residents of Sector 10A met Badshapur MLA Rakesh Daultabad on Saturday and sought his help in removing a temple that was built by encroaching on the green belt of the area. The MLA promised to look into the matter and take necessary action.
Despite repeated complaints, the residents claimed, authorities had not acted against those involved with the construction on public land.
Udayvir Yadav, the president of the Sector 10A residents welfare association (RWA), said, “A few people have illegally constructed a religious structure on a portion of the green belt, and we have been opposing this for a long time. It is nothing but sheer grabbing of land and its conversion into a worship place while the authorities concerned seem to be mute spectators on the matter. We have urged the MLA to help in the removal of the encroachment at the earliest.”
The residents urged Daultabad to probe into the matter to fix responsibility and prevent further encroachment on public land. “There have been continuous efforts to encroach upon this land since 2012, but now with political patronage and official connivance, some people have constructed the religious structure in the green belt,” said Tara Chand, the general secretary of the Sector 10A RWA.
When contacted, Daultabad said, “I have already instructed the officials concerned to examine the matter, and then they will take appropriate measures to secure the land.”
Despite clear instructions from the Supreme Court against green belt encroachments, residents said, the lack of enforcement by the authorities concerned was encouraging the public to violate all rules and regulations. The RWA president added that residents are now preparing to file a petition with the high court.
“This is a green belt, which is supposed to be our ‘green lung’. However, it is getting concretised in the name of renovation. We are not against any development, but this kind of encroachment is causing serious damage to the environment, other than this being completely illegal,” said SR Yadav, a Sector 10A resident.

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
