HYDRAA Reclaims Public Land, Demolishes Illegal Walls
Imagine some land that was supposed to be for parks and roads got walled off illegally.
It all started with a layout of land, but some people sold it to others, causing trouble.
The government had taken the land, but later gave it back.
Even though their land records were canceled, the people who owned the land put up walls anyway.
Finally, officials stepped in, confirmed the walls were not allowed, and took them down, so the land can be used for what it was meant for.
HYDRAA removed illegal boundary walls on 7.16 acres of public land.
The land in Ekashila Layout was designated for public parks and roadways.
Disputes began in 2005 after land sales by the original owners.
The government initially took the land under the Urban Land Ceiling Act in 2002 but returned it.
Despite cancelled passbooks, the second owners built compound walls.
