UP Government Demolishes Illegal Structures on Border
The government in Uttar Pradesh is removing buildings built without permission near the border with Nepal.
They've taken down some buildings, closed others, and sent warnings to more.
This is happening in seven areas, with the most happening in Shravasti.
The government is doing this because the Chief Minister told them to do it, focusing on unauthorized buildings on both public and private land within a certain distance of the border.
Uttar Pradesh government demolished 130 illegal structures near the Indo-Nepal border.
The drive targeted illegal mosques, madrasas, and other constructions.
Actions took place across seven districts including Pilibhit, Shravasti, and Maharajganj, over the past two months.
Shravasti saw the most action with 149 encroachments targeted, with demolitions and sealings.
The drive followed directives from CM Yogi Adityanath.
