HUDA to fence reclaimed land Panchkula, September 20 According to a policy decision taken by the two wings, the Enforcement Wing will have to give prior intimation to the engineering staff before it launches an anti-encroachment drive in the city. The latter will then be able to arrange for its notified agencies to be present on the day of the anti-encroachment drive and fence the reclaimed area. It is learnt that the Estate Officer, HUDA, Mr Ashwani Kumar Sharma, had shot off letters to executive engineers of all three divisions of HUDA, asking them to take over the land for developing it, as soon as it is cleared by the enforcement staff. The letter further asked the engineering staff to save the reclaimed land from encroachers by keeping watchmen and fencing the land once it was cleared, so that encroachments do not resurface. The Engineering Wing has also been asked to do a day- to- day monitoring of the cleared sites. The move comes following the resurfacing of encroachments at various places in the township, hours after these have been cleared by the enforcement staff. At several places, the enforcement staff has had to undertake anti- encroachment exercises three to four times on the same site. It is learnt that the enforcement staff led by the Estate Officer, has cleared the three kilometer tract (about 4 acres area) from Majri Chowk to Sector 3, thrice during the past over one month. However, hours later the jhuggi dwellers would again set up their hutments in the area have not been cleared. Similarly, on the road dividing Sector 15 and Industrial Area Phase I, the Enforcement Wing has removed illegal hutments in Sector 15 twice, but these have resurfaced. Same is the case of Sector 14, in front of the HSIDC group housing society, where the jhuggis have not been cleared in spite of two anti- encroachment drives. The Superintendent Engineer, HUDA, Mr S. C. Malik, informed that they had fixed agencies in all three divisions of HUDA, who will now be contacted before the demolition drive and will immediately fence the area after it has been cleared of encroachments. |
