SWIFT ACTION: A compound wall constructed by a property developer being removed at Palayamkottai on Saturday.

TIRUNELVELI: Corporation officials demolished the compound wall of an apartment at Palayamkottai on Saturday to retrieve a land measuring about three cents (1,290 square feet) belonging to the urban body encroached upon by a private builder.

After a private builder encroached upon the corporation land adjacent to his apartment next to Old Bishop’s House on the South High Ground Road, a team of officials from the Corporation descended on the premises on Saturday morning. As the survey conducted by the corporation officials revealed that the builder had encroached upon the land costing about several lakhs of rupees, they decided to remove it. Demolishing the compound wall with the heavy equipment to retrieve the land, the corporation officials also dug up the hitherto illegally occupied land to find whether any tank had been constructed under ground.

Based on the complaint given by Palayamkottai zone Assistant Commissioner (in-Charge) T. Shanthi, the Palayamkottai police have registered case against owner of the property Antony Raj, also from Palayamkottai.

SALEM: A team of Salem Corporation and revenue officials removed encroachments in the New Integrated Bus Stand here on Saturday.

The civic body had taken up the initiative following widespread complaints from the public that a number of persons had encroached upon platforms and pavements in the bus stand and put up shops, causing inconvenience to passengers.

Though the civic body had allotted a separate place for these vendors to establish their shops, a number of them continued to occupy the platforms and pavements.

More than 50,000 people access the bus stand every day.

A large number of buses are being operated connecting important cities including Chennai, Bangalore and Coimbatore.

The encroachments had narrowed the pathways and the access roads to the bus stand, adding to the traffic congestion.

As a result, the Corporation, in co-ordination with revenue and police officials, removed the encroachments.
