In latest news from Uttarakhand, the Nainital district administration claimed that over 40 percent of the people who had been illegally occupying the land owned by the health department were evicted in two days. In view of the tension prevailing in such areas, prohibitory order under section 144 of CrPC was clamped. Police said that no untoward incident happened during the eviction drive and the squatters themselves dismantled their houses and left.
The sub-divisional magistrate Pramod Kumar said that so far the encroachers left on their own and any construction if found standing on the encroached land would be razed down. Importantly, the district administration teams assisted by police would launch eviction operations against the encroachers in other parts of Nainital district in the coming days.
