What’s inside:
This article talks about the Bihar government’s efforts to clear illegal encroachments on government land and the potential impact on residents.
Bihar is taking strong action to remove illegal encroachments on its roads and government lands. Recently, District Magistrate Pawan Kumar Sinha ordered a crackdown on these illegal settlements, which has caused a stir among officials and residents alike. This move particularly affects those who have been living on government land for years, including areas like Kaiser-e-Hind and Malik.
The situation is serious as many families could lose their homes if the authorities start removing these encroachments. In areas like Jadopur Road, people have built houses and shops on government land, and there are also illegal constructions near Maunia Chowk. These activities have already created some tensions in the community.
There’s suspicion that some officials might be involved in allowing these illegal encroachments to happen. The District Magistrate has pointed out that despite previous warnings, no significant actions have been taken against those occupying government property. This has raised concerns about possible collusion between officials and encroachers.
As part of the new plan, the zonal officers have been instructed to inspect all government lands by December 31. They need to gather information about the encroachments and report it to the District Magistrate’s office. This is to ensure that all illegal occupants are identified and dealt with appropriately.
Moving forward, strict measures will be taken to clear these encroachments. The government plans to prepare a list of encroachments in five villages and aims to make all government lands free from illegal occupation within three months starting January. Officials must certify that no government land has been overlooked during this process.
Summary:
- Bihar is clearing illegal encroachments on government land.
- Many families could be affected by these actions.
- Concerns about collusion among officials have been raised.
- Zonal officers must inspect government lands by December 31.
- The goal is to clear all encroachments within three months.
