Secunderabad Cantonment Board Issues Final Warning to Encroachers
The Secunderabad Cantonment Board has given a final warning to people who have built things on government land without permission.
They have 7 days to remove these buildings, or the board will tear them down.
This is because these buildings are blocking important things like drains and roads.
The board has given many warnings before, but this is the last one.
If people don't remove their buildings, the board will have to spend money to tear them down, and they will make the people who built them pay for it.
Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB) issued final public notices to remove encroachments within 7 days
Encroachments block stormwater drains, narrow roads, and occupy service lines
No further notice will be given before demolition under the Cantonments Act, 2006
Over 1,000 PPE eviction notices and encroachments remain unresolved, mostly in parks and open spaces
SCB will recover demolition costs from violators
