Gurgaon: Three illegal guest houses operating out of Sector 39 were sealed on Tuesday.
The illegality was brought to Huda's notice by residents of New Engineer City Height Society and matter was raised during recent district grievance committee meeting. In their complaint, they had stated that guest houses were operating on residential plots and unverified tenants were allowed to stay there.
"After the issue was we investigated the matter and found that guest houses were operating from residential plots, which is a violation of rules," said Tarun Pawaria, estate officer-II. Three such guest houses were sealed on Tuesday.
According to an estimate around 125 PGs and guesthouses are being run in areas falling in new Gurgaon. "They not only violate the Huda norms, but also pay for electricity and drinking water at residential rates, which is much less than the commercial one," he said.
