Indore: District administration officials freed 30 bighas of prime government land valued at approximately Rs 25 crore from encroachments in the Mhow region on Wednesday. A joint team of revenue and police officials carried out the anti-encroachment action in Malendi village.
Details of the Operation
The operation involved clearing encroachments from 7.824 hectares (around 30 bighas) of state-owned land. SDM (Revenue) Rakesh Parmar confirmed that the team successfully removed illegal occupants and restored the land to official government records. The land is located in a prime area and its clearance marks a significant step in the administration's efforts to reclaim public property.
Significance of the Action

The district administration has vowed to continue such drives to protect state property.
Official Statement
SDM Parmar stated, "The team cleared encroachments from 7.824 hectares of state-owned land and restored it to official government records. This action was carried out as per law, and further monitoring will ensure no re-encroachment occurs."

Citizens have been urged to report any illegal occupation of government land to the nearest revenue office. The reclaimed land in Malendi village will be secured and its usage decided in due course.
