KATHUA, Mar 12: A team of District Administration led by ACR Jatinder Misra, Tehsildar, Avtar Singh, CEO MC, Kathua, Officer of Irrigation Department and police team removed the encroachment made by local people on sewerage nullah point on Dream Land Park road.
The administration has taken strict action and two JCB machines were put on job and they removed the illegal structure made on the land by a land mafia.
The ACR Kathua, Jatinder Misra said that nearly six marlas land was encroached by Hari Lal since years and the matter was in court. The court has issued directives for removal of the illegal encroachment made on Irrigation Department land. Before removal the encroachment, District Administration asked the encroacher to evict the land.
But despite the passing of seven days time ,he failed to remove the encroachments. Ultimately the encroachment was removed by the administration today, he said, adding the matter was also delayed as the construction of sewerage nullah for Patel Nagar and Shiva Nagar since last five years and created trouble for common man.  The UEED Department is constructing a nullah on the land and work was stopped due encroachment of land.
Now the work was resumed and the adjoining street widening was also executed after that.
