In Chandpura, two colonies covering roughly 10.1 acres were dismantled. In Sareri, three settlements occupying around 10.2 acres faced demolition, while a smaller colony of approximately one acre in Ranwala was also removed. The enforcement included clearing temporary kutcha roads laid in these areas and demolishing 27 constructions that were still under development.
The drive was led by duty magistrate cum District Town Planner Rohit Chauhan, assisted by the junior engineer and the SHO (Enforcement), with police personnel ensuring smooth conduct of operations. Officials highlighted that such colonies often attract speculative investments, which can result in legal complications and financial losses for buyers. They urged the public to confirm land titles and approval status before purchasing or investing in properties.
Authorities emphasized that action against unauthorised colonies and illegal construction will continue as part of regular urban planning enforcement. The goal is to prevent further encroachments, maintain planning discipline, and protect residents from the risks associated with unregulated development.
