During the drive, the authorities removed encroachments and illegal structures raised in violation of the HC's directions from ecologically sensitive and restricted areas within the Kansal catchment and floodplain areas. The operation was conducted under the supervision of senior MC Naya Gaon officials. Adequate police force was deployed to maintain law and order. The SHO, Naya Gaon, along with police personnel, were also present at the site.

Officials warned that any further violations of the HC's orders will invite strict legal action, including demolition and penal proceedings. Residents and property owners have once again been advised to adhere to approved building plans, land-use regulations and court directions. The executive officer said that strict action would be taken against anyone attempting to raise unauthorised structures in restricted areas....
