The Railway authorities have issued a public notice to the people of Banbhulpura in Uttarakhand’s Nainital district to remove 4,365 encroachments within seven days, failing which the demolition process will be started. The move comes after the Uttarakhand high court on December 20 ordered the demolition of constructions over encroached railway land at Banbhulpura in Haldwani.
“We have issued a public notice published in local newspapers on Sunday, asking people of Banbhulpura in Haldwani area of Nainital district to remove 4,365 encroachments within seven days, failing which demolition process will be started. Also, the cost of the demolition of the structures will have to be borne by the encroachers, if they don’t remove them within January 1-January 7 period,” said Rajendra Singh, public relations officer, North Eastern Railway Izzatnagar Division
