Haryana's Town and Country Planning Department has directed all agencies to take immediate action against unauthorised stilt-floor constructions and encroachments. Officials from municipal corporations and development authorities in Gurgaon and Faridabad were instructed to act against illegal construction and commercial use of stilt floors. The Punjab and Haryana High Court imposed a temporary stay on the state's July 2024 policy allowing stilt-plus-four-storey buildings, with action reports due April 22.
