Railway Reclaims Land in Prayagraj Anti-Encroachment Drive
The railway in Prayagraj cleared some land that people were using without permission.
They removed these illegal structures to make the railway safer and better.
The railway administration told people to leave first, and when they didn't, the authorities took action.
This reclaimed a large area of land, which will now be used for important upgrades, like building walls and improving the tracks.
This is part of a bigger plan to make trains go faster.
Prayagraj Division of North Central Railway (NCR) conducted an anti-encroachment drive.
Over 4,000 sqm of railway land was reclaimed.
The reclaimed land is estimated to be worth Rs 8 crore.
Prior notices were issued to encroachers before action.
The drive supports infrastructure upgrades for high-speed rail operations.
