The district administration in Gurgaon Thursday sealed several illegal farmhouses, including that of popular Bollywood singer Mika Singh, in village Roz Ka Gujjar.
A state government spokesman said here that the farmhouses were illegally running small tourism units and other commercial activities.
“As per the orders of Deputy Commissioner P.C. Meena, a team of local officers, including 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 with the help of police inspected the farm houses. On finding commercial activities there, these farm houses 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 farm houses.
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 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,” a spokesman said.
