Bollywood actor Chandrachur Singh remained composed after the Town and Country Planning Department (DTP) demolished a ramp outside his residence in Gurugram's DLF area during an anti-encroachment drive targeting alleged building norm violations. The demolition formed part of a wider enforcement operation carried out on Friday against structures that officials said did not conform to approved building plans and municipal regulations.
Details of the Demolition
Among the properties inspected was Singh's residence, where a bulldozer was used to remove the ramp outside the house. A video of the incident, now circulating on social media, shows the actor stepping outside to speak with officials supervising the operation. During the exchange, Singh sought clarification on whether any demolition was planned inside his home and mentioned that the property had been purchased by his father in 1991. He also questioned the removal of the ramp but maintained a calm and courteous demeanour throughout the conversation.
Cordial Interaction with Officials
The actor further asked whether the demolition proceedings were being officially documented and requested the name of the officer leading the operation. DTP Officer Amit Madhaulia introduced himself, after which Singh shook hands with him and other members of the team before the interaction concluded on an amicable note. Speaking about the drive, Madhaulia said the department acted following long-pending complaints regarding alleged violations in the DLF area. He added that enforcement against illegal floors, unauthorised extensions and commercial activities that contravene the city's master plan would continue.
