Gurugram: Vipul Lavanya road cut off by another builder, say residents

GURUGRAM: The fears of over 500 families residing in Sector 81’s Vipul Lavanya came true on
Thursday as their main access road connecting the society with the revenue road was blocked
by another developer.
Since February this year, the residents have been raising their concerns after their society being
cut off from rest of the city but they say that no measures were taken by the two builders. They
have also approached the deputy commissioner seeking his intervention to ensure 24- metre
road connectivity.
According to the residents, the land on which their 24-metre access road was built was earlier
owned by Vipul Ltd, which built the housing society but later sold it to the Landmark Ltd which
have now blocked their access to society by installing tin fences.

“Our main access road has been blocked by the adjoining developer without any discussion or
notice. The entire stretch that connected our society to the revenue road has been excavated
and fenced by them forcefully. When we tried to oppose them, we were threatened by the
bouncers,” said Amit Shekhar, vice president of Lavanya RWA.
The project was launched in 2010 and the possession was given in 2014. Since then, the
residents have been using this road as their main access. In February this year, the adjoining
developer constructed the blocks obstructing their movement and after objection from residents
they dismantled it.
However, the representative of Landmark Ltd said that they have not done anything illegal as
they have only fenced the area falling under their license. “They have built the road on our
license area and now we have only fenced our project site to secure it and nothing illegal has
been done,” the representative said.
Meanwhile, Sanjeev Mann, senior town planner said, “Our officials have visited the site and
been informed that the existing revenue road connecting to Vipul Lavanya is available. The
license for a colony is issued when there is an existing revenue road or there is a proposed
road. Vipul had built the proposed road in their license area but it was later acquired by
Landmark. This is a 24 meter sector road, and once the project is completed, the developer will
transfer the road to the government.
