Encroachments in Ballari cleared, over 5 acres of land reclaimed by district administration

The district administration launched a major drive on April 16 to clear long-standing encroachments on government land at several locations across Ballari city.

Officials reclaimed about 22 cents of government land behind the Avambhavi temple, where a road had been encroached upon and a retaining wall constructed illegally. The encroached structures were demolished using earthmovers, and a signboard declaring the land as ‘Government Property’ was installed.
