Encroachments removed in Yamunanagar

The Municipal Corporation, Yamunanagar-Jagadhri (MCYJ), removed encroachments in Lajpat Nagar colony falling under Ward 15 of the MCYJ.

People had allegedly encroached on land by making platforms, ramps and stairs in front of their houses.

According to information, the MCYJ is constructing streets and drains from Jagdish Bawa’s house to Goyal Atta Chakki and from Hanuman Gate to Valmiki Dwar in Lajpat Nagar at a cost of Rs 46.66 lakh. The officials had instructed the house owners to remove the encroachments in the street themselves, but no action was taken by the house owners.

On the instructions of MC Commissioner Mahabir Parsad, the team of Municipal Engineer Narender demolished the platforms, ramps and stairs made by the people in the street with the help of an earthmoving machine.

“The municipal corporation is constructing a paved street in Lajpat Nagar by removing encroachments,” said Parsad.

He said the encroachment and illegal construction would not be allowed anywhere in the municipal corporation area.
