Keeping in view the over-exploitation of ground water in Gurgaon district, it has been decided that the tubewells and borewells, which became operational before August 13, 2011 in the extended notified area of Gurgaon district would be registered by the district administration.
An offcial spokesman said the Central Ground Water Authority had declared Gurgaon district as notified area on August 13, 2011 meaning no new tubewell or borewell could be installed in the district without obtaining permission from the Deputy Commissioner. Violators will be punished as per provisions of Environment (Protection).
