NPU Seeks to Reclaim Land from IRB 10 Occupation
Imagine a school that used to have a big playground and some buildings.
Now, someone else is using them!
The school's boss wants the playground and buildings back.
The school has asked a special helper, the Deputy Commissioner, for help.
The Deputy Commissioner will talk to the people using the school's stuff and see what can be done.
The school says the stuff belongs to them, but the people using it haven't received the school's request yet.
