CM Yogi’s bulldozer demolishes illegal mazar in Shravasti

Shravasti, July 29 – Acting on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s directives, the Shravasti administration has demolished an illegal mazar built on municipal land along the Bhinga-Sirsia road. The joint action was carried out by the district administration, municipality, and Revenue department in the border district on Tuesday.

The land—Gata number 121, measuring 0.1420 hectare—falls under Bhinga Municipality and was reserved for timber storage.

Acting swiftly, officials took strict action to remove the encroachment and reclaim the government land.

Led by District Magistrate Ajay Kumar Dwivedi, a joint team of the Nagar Palika Parishad, Revenue Department, and Police first demarcated the land and notified the encroachers. After the notice period, officials reached the site on Tuesday and demolished all illegal constructions, including the mazar, reclaiming the land fully. Adequate security was deployed to maintain law and order during the operation.

The District Magistrate stated that the illegal structure on municipal land was removed through due legal process. He emphasized that the action was essential to uphold law and order and safeguard public interest, adding that no encroachment on government land will be tolerated in the future.
