The South Central Railway in Bidar, Karnataka, has issued eviction notices to occupants accused of encroaching upon railway land valued at crores of rupees. Nearly 40 properties under the Railway Department’s ownership, situated in Gullar Haveli, Survey No. 31 near the Karnataka Electricity Board, and in Nandi Colony and Jyoti Colony, are being targeted for clearance due to illegal constructions.
Railway authorities have highlighted the unauthorized construction of houses and shops on railway land, resulting in extensive encroachment over time. To address this issue, the South Central Railway Division, Secunderabad, has intervened decisively. Notices have been served to the encroachers, instructing them to vacate the premises immediately, with warnings posted on the properties as a final caution before eviction procedures commence.
If the occupants do not adhere to the notices, eviction will proceed following legal protocols. The Railway Department is prepared to take further action once the specified notice period elapses. Emphasizing its commitment to reclaiming encroached land and preventing future illegal occupation, the department has underscored the necessity of clearing the railway property to safeguard public interests.
