Indian Railways Land Encroachment Exceeds 1,068 Hectares

Indian Railways has a lot of land, about 4.99 lakh hectares, all over India.

But some people have taken over a part of this land, about 1,068.54 hectares, without permission.

The government is trying to get this land back.

They remove temporary structures like small houses and huts with the help of the police.

For bigger, permanent structures, they use a special law to evict the people who are not willing to leave.

The government is also doing regular checks to stop such encroachments in the future.
