Encroachment

Ludhiana:  The Municipal Corporation authorities on Friday removed encroachment from a 4.5 acre plot on Hambaran Road. Ranvir Singh had constructed two rooms on the plot and had been tilling the rest of the land. The land was under his possession for the last 15 years.

A court case of long standing recently went in favour of the MC, which then decided to take action. Senior town planner Balkar Singh Brar along with other officers went to the spot. Ranvir and his son Randhir had come to the spot and had allegedly tried to obstruct the demolition drive by manhandling the staff. However, the demolition team was accompanied by a police escort of over 100 men. The rooms were demolished and the land was taken in possession for the MC, Brar told Newsline.

HC gives green signal for anti-encroachment drive

Hassan. August 30, DHNS:

Karnataka High Court has directed the district administration to go ahead with its anti-encroachment drive for removal of all illegal structures in the city.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It may be mentioned here that the administration had already cleared encroachments in and around Devikere Market a few months back.

According to sources, preparations are going on for second round of anti-encroachment drive all over the city. Clearing encroachment in Devikere Market region has been the biggest drive so far. In fact,the officials had decided to clear encroachment in surroundings areas of Hasanamba temple, Hosaline Road and other important places. But it did not materialise due to political interference.

Amidst all these developments, a traders around Kattinakere Market moved High Court and filed petition questioning launching of anti-encroachment drive in the name of development and road widening.

On August 9, the High Court dismissed the petition and directed the district administration to go ahead with its drive against land grabbers and clear all illegal structures to take up road widening and beautification of city. This court order has sent a strong message not only to land grabber. Armed with this order, the officials are planning to go tough against land grabbers without serving any notice.

Encroachment in cleared areas

Meanwhile, residents want the administration to take up development works where encroachments had been removed. There are instances where shop owners are again encroaching footpath and using vacant land as parking lot. Such problem continues on B M road, around Devikere Market even after clearance of encroachment. Will the district administration launched road widening works is a question to be answered by officialdom.
