demolition drive

Subsequently, over 5,000 notices warning of demolition were served to property owners across Faridabad as part of the intensified crackdown on illegal structures

The demolition drive faced massive protests by local Muslims who came out in support of Azad Choudhary.

According to official data, the highest number of demolitions of illegal structures has taken place in Shravasti, where 100 illegal madrasas, one mosque, five mazars and two eidgahs were demolished.

The officer added that apart from that, 25 SRPF companies are also with the police and that drones will also be used. Along with this, he said that in the previous action, about 1.5 lakh square meters of land was cleared and now the operation to clear 2.5 lakh square meters of land has been started.

Located about 100 metres away from the Kashi Vishwanath temple, the Dalmandi market area faces the problem of overcrowding and frequent traffic jams because of the narrow size of the road passing through it.

Corporation's legal advisor said, “The structure was an encroachment on government land. This is a reserved forest area under the Punjab Land Preservation Act (PLPA). As per Supreme Court orders, no encroachment is allowed on such land. This was an illegal structure, and we have removed it accordingly.”

The action has been taken against builders who reportedly shared close ties with late gangster Atiq Ahmed.
