Chandigarh, June 7 -- In a decisive anti-encroachment drive, the Chandigarh municipal corporation (MC) reclaimed prime government land from illegal occupation in Pocket Number 9, Manimajra, on Friday. Acting on the directions of MC commissioner Amit Kumar, the enforcement team and engineering wing of the civic body removed unauthorised dairy structures and 48 illegally constructed huts from the site. The drive was carried out with support from the local police and enforcement staff of the MC. Adequate arrangements were made to avoid inconvenience to the general public during the operation. This action was part of the corporation's ongoing efforts to remove encroachments from public land and restore it for planned development and public use. The commissioner had earlier instructed all relevant departments to identify and act against such encroachments without delay or exception. Kumar said the MC is committed to maintaining the sanctity of public land and will not tolerate any illegal occupation. He emphasised that strict action will continue to be taken against encroachers and similar drives will be carried out in other areas of the city in the coming days. He appealed to the public to refrain from encroaching on public land and cooperate in maintaining the city's cleanliness, order and planned development....
