The land conflict is over the distance of relocation of Kherki Dhaula Toll Plaza from Gurugram city to Sehrawan village in Haryana. The NHAI wants to relocate the toll plaza some 11 km away from the existing one towards Sehrawan for which 65 acres of land has to be acquired. According to Manoharlal Khattar, the CM of Haryana, the land has been transferred to NHAI. But contrary to these claims, no land transfer has yet happened and the concerned 65 acres still belong to the Manesar Panchayat who are demanding the toll plaza to be relocated around 5km from Sehrawan towards KundaliManesarPalwal Expressway which would save them 59 acres of land. In 2019, the state government has agreed to the demands of the protestors and changed its plan to relocate the toll plaza from Sehrawan to Pachgaon. Hence the conflict is resolved.
