“Following orders of Deputy Commissioner Parth Gupta, our team — with the help of the Bilaspur Naib-Tehsildar, who was appointed as the Duty Magistrate to maintain law and order; the Bilaspur SHO; and a team of the State Enforcement Bureau — carried out the drive in the two colonies,” Kumar said.

Notices were issued to defaulters as per rules under the Controlled Area Act, but they did not comply with departmental orders, he added.“Land owners and other persons involved did not take necessary permissions before establishing the colonies and carrying out construction work. Therefore, these were demolished,” Kumar said. He appealed to the public not to purchase or sell plots in illegal colonies.
