A team of the UT Estate Office today carried out a demolition drive near a chowk adjacent to the Mani Majra police station.

The land was acquired by the UT Administration years ago, but had been encroached upon and several shops had come on it. The drive will continue tomorrow.

The encroachers opposed the drive and raised slogans against the Administration. However, due to the presence of a large number of police personnel, the drive was carried out peacefully.

Before the drive, the shops and houses were first evacuated, after which more than 25-30 structures were removed.
