Gurugram, Oct. 16 -- Haryana's forest department has identified more than 45 residential and commercial complexes allegedly encroaching on forest land in Ghamroj, Behrampur and Naurangpur, and plans to launch a demolition drive in mid-November, officials said on Thursday. According to officials, 20 buildings have been identified in Ghamroj, another 20 in Behrampur and at least five residential complexes in Naurangpur. Surinder Dangi, divisional forest officer, said the department had begun issuing notices to the owners and contractors of the complexes, asking them to remove the encroachments before the proposed drive. "We have started issuing notices to the owners or contractors of these complexes and have asked them to demolish the encroachments themselves before the demolition drive. If they fail to comply by the deadline, we will proceed with the demolition action," he said. It follows a series of anti-encroachment drives in the Aravalli region. Officials said previous drives had helped reclaim nearly 50 acres of forest land in Ghamroj and Gairatpur Bas, besides five acres in Sohna. On January 8, the department demolished a 300-metre wall in Gwal Pahari to prevent unauthorised farmhouse construction on forest land. On July 2, the department demolished 11 structures in Behrampur, including unfinished buildings and a boundary wall, reclaiming nearly three acres of protected Aravalli land. Notices were also issued over several encroachments in Ghamroj. Officials said a survey was underway to identify other unauthorised structures built on forest land....
