Hry govt tells builder to buy encroached land for ₹66 cr

Officials said that Ansal Properties and Infrastructure Ltd, which developed the Ansal Esencia project in Sector 67, carved out around 10 plots of 1,000 sq yards on 2.05 acres of land, had built a road and a park on it without any permission from the Haryana government.

They said that five acres of land was acquired by the state's irrigation department in the 1970s to construct a drain in the area, but due to certain reasons the mutation of the land was not carried out in favour of the department on revenue records.

Officials from the irrigation department said that in 2018, they got to know that a developer, Ansal API, had carved out plots, built a road and a park on its two acres of land after which the department issued a notice to the developer and got the construction stopped. Later, they asked the developer to vacate the land.
