Mayabunder, July 08: Recently the District Administration of North and Middle Andaman conducted a series of encroachment drives at Mayabunder but within a few months all the encroachers have returned and started raising their shops and houses in broad day light, making mockery of the North and Middle Andaman’s District
Administration and law of this land.
Andaman Sheekha has exclusive photographs of such encroachers who are daring the District Administration openly and constructing illegal structures again on encroached land.
One wonders what is the use of such encroachment drives when the Administration is unable to remove encroachments?
“Infact encroachment drives are a blessing in disguise for encroachers as with the challan slip they get after removal of encroachments, they prove in court that they have been living on the land since a long long time,” said a senior officer of Revenue Department, who does not want his name to be quoted.
