The Gurgaon district administration Thursday demolished nearly a dozen illegal constructions that had come up in the restricted area near the IAF ammunition depot here, officials said.
The demolition drive was conducted in Om Vihar area after a satellite survey of the restricted zone showed new constructions.
Some people, however, protested the demolition. A protestor said people were not given time to even vacate the houses.
