Neemuch Municipality Reclaims Government Land After Removing Encroachments
Neemuch Municipality took back a large piece of government land on Ambedkar Road.
The land covers about 4 lakh square feet.
Officials say it is worth around ₹145 crore by government guidelines and about ₹500 crore at market prices.
It had been allotted for a hostel, but officials said commercial activity was allegedly happening there.
A committee challenged an earlier municipal notice in court and received a stay.
The municipality later appealed, and the District Court ruled in its favour, according to the report.
The municipality then gave another notice asking for unauthorised structures to be removed.
After the deadline passed, teams cleared the site and put up a sign showing municipal ownership.
