Crackdown on Encroachment: Jammu Authorities Retrieve Land from Grabbers

Jammu authorities continued their anti-encroachment drive, demolishing illegal constructions and retrieving over 1.75 acres of land. The operation, led by District Magistrate Rakesh Minhas and SSP Joginder Singh, aims to establish office buildings and police posts while warning against further encroachment and drug-related offenses.

Jammu's authoritative crackdown on illegal land encroachment persisted on the outskirts of the city, pulling down unlawful structures and reclaiming significant acreage. The operation underscores the zero-tolerance policy on land grabbing.

After retrieving more than 16 acres during the campaign's initial phase, Saturday's efforts focused on Harsa Dabbar village. The targeted demolitions retrieved another 1.75 acres, earmarked for essential infrastructure development. The district magistrate underscored no leniency would be shown to violators.

Authorities caution residents against illegal land activity, promising strict prosecution for offenders, especially those linked to narcotics. This decisive action highlights a commitment to law and order in the region.
