Manipur Begins Statewide Eviction Drive Against Encroachments

The government in Manipur is removing buildings and structures that have been built illegally on public land.

They're starting by checking areas like MG Avenue, where buildings have taken over spaces that should be open.

People are being told to remove these structures themselves first.

If they don't, the government will do it.

This is because these encroachments are causing problems like clogged drains and flooding, which can lead to health issues like dengue and other diseases.

The officials say this is a long-term problem and they are looking for people to cooperate with them in keeping the city safe and clean.
