Gurugram: Seven townships get DTCP nod to install gates

GURUGRAM: The department of town and country planning (DTCP) has allowed the installation
of entry and exit gates at seven major townships in the city, after the approval from
the Gurgaon deputy commissioner. Meanwhile, no approval was given to set up gates at
Nirvana Country in South City 2.
The DTCP, in its order, said that to provide a sense of security to the residents without
hampering inter-colony and intra-colony movement, the gates will be allowed on the condition
that security guards man the gates or boom barriers, 24×7.
“Also, CCTV cameras are to be fixed by the governing body of the colony, and there should be
no hindrance to building service roads along sectors and dividing roads for the general public,
and the gates cannot be permanently closed,” the order read.
At a meeting, recently held under the chairmanship of the deputy commissioner and attended by
the DTCP officials and police, the decision to allow licensed colonies to install gates got taken.
In a plotted colony being developed by Adani Brahma Synergy in Sector 60, the officials allowed
the erection of gates on the 24m-wide internal road in the M Block of the colony.
Federation of Malibu Towne Residents’ Association had requested for approval of boom barriers
and iron gates at six points, and the officials after a detailed discussion, allowed gates at five
points at the intersections of internal roads. The officials, however, did not allow a gate at the
sixth point as it is revenue road and cannot be blocked.
Residents’ Welfare Association of the Uppal Southend licensed colony in Sector 49 had
requested for a gate near Sapphire Mall and it was allowed by the officials.
Uniworld Garden Apartment Owners’ Association had requested for three entry and exit gates at
Uniworld Garden 1, Sector 47, Sohna Road. After detailed deliberation, the department allowed
two entries/exits for smooth flow of traffic.
The office of the district town planner (DTP) had received a representation from the RWA
president, A-Block, Palam Vihar, Sector 2, requesting eight security gates, and the officials
allowed the same. Palms apartments in South City 1 and Sector 30 were allowed to install one
and three gates, respectively.
Nirvana Country Residents’ Welfare Association had requested for one security gate on the
revenue road behind the S block of Nirvana County, South City 2, but the committee decided not
to allow the same.
