Gurgaon: Residents of Vatika Xpressions in Sector 88B staged a protest on Wednesday over an alleged attack on their society and the demolition of part of the boundary wall. They sought the chief minister’s intervention and demanded strict action against the developer and anyone found responsible. They were protesting against the incident that took place around 1:30 am on the night of Nov 6. They allege that a group associated with 4S Developers, accompanied by armed persons and three JCB machines, entered the area and began tearing down a section of the wall.They further claim that stones were hurled at security personnel and residents. According to them, the situation grew tense enough that several PCR vehicles and police personnel had to be rushed to the spot. Following the complaint, the police team initiated preventive legal action against five people under Sections 126 and 170 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).According to police, the land adjoining the society belongs to 4S Developers, which proposes to undertake construction there. The builder had no access route to the plot, and police said it demolished the adjoining wall of the society to create one, absorbing a portion of the wall into its own land.On Wednesday, residents gathered with placards and raised slogans against the developer. “We have invested our hard-earned money to build our homes and provide a safe environment for our families,” said resident Kailash Barthwal.The residents want strict legal action against the developer and everyone found responsible, along with a fair and thorough probe into the matter. They are also asking for adequate and permanent police protection for the society. They also demanded the immediate removal of blockages and obstructions at the society’s 12-metre railway-side gate and 24-metre roadside gate, so that residents can move in and out smoothly and safely.Hakeekat Rana asked where ordinary residents could turn for protection if armed individuals could enter a residential society and demolish its wall. He called for adequate police protection and a thorough probe into the role of 4S Developers.“A home is supposed to be the safest place for any family,” another resident said.Meanwhile, Raghav Kaushik, representative of Neem Secure Pvt. Ltd., said the company is developing a licensed plotted colony on about 10.075 acres in Sector 88B, in line with approved plans. He said it bought the entire parcel from Vatika Limited on March 18, 2025, and has paid the full consideration. “Our position is based on written and duly verified documents. Vatika Limited has itself consented, through the NOC/Affidavit, to the use of the permissible internal road network for access and connectivity to our project. We are not seeking any unauthorised access; rather, we are seeking the peaceful and lawful exercise of the rights granted under the relevant documents,” he said.Regarding the boundary wall, which is approximately 200 feet long, the company’s position is that the said wall has been constructed within a portion of Neem Secure’s land. According to the company, the location of the wall, land boundaries and road alignment should be determined on the basis of the approved layout plan, revenue records and relevant documents.Acknowledging the protest, he said the company respects residents’ right to protest peacefully and wants the matter resolved through dialogue and within the law.
