MP: Encroachment removed from Govt land worth around Rs 200 crore in Indore

Indore authorities clear illegal structures from 1.7 hectares of government land valued at Rs 200 crore in Pipliya Rao following a court order.

"The estimated value of the land freed from encroachment is around Rs 200 crore. - SDM Ghanshyam Dhangar"

Indore, April 8

A joint team of Indore Municipal Corporation and the district administration cleared illegal encroachment from the government land in the Pipliya Rao area of Indore worth nearly Rs 200 crores, an official said on Wednesday.

The removal action was carried out under the guidance of Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Ghanshyam Dhangar of Juni Indore on Wednesday early morning. According to officials, the drive led to the removal of illegal encroachments from around 1.7 hectares of government land and the market value of the land is around Rs 200 crore.

SDM Ghanshyam Dhangar told ANI, "Based on the Collector's directives, a joint team comprising the district administration, municipal corporation, and police conducted an operation to remove encroachment from the government land in Pipliya Rao area in the district. The land stretched in approximately 1.7 hectares and unauthorized structures including houses and guard rooms were built on it by an individual named Sukhbir Singh. The action was carried out today to free the land."

The matter for removal of the encroachment was under trial before Tehsil court under section 248 of the MPLRC (Madhya Pradesh Land Revenue Code). Following the order from the tehsil court, the encroachment was cleared on Wednesday, he said.

"The estimated value of the land freed from encroachment is around Rs 200 crore. It was encroached for a long time by Sukhbir Singh. During a governmental inquiry, the issue came to light that it was government land and encroached illegally, leading to the registration of a case in the Tehsil and subsequent action," he added.

Good work by the administration. But I have a question - what about rehabilitation for any poor families who might have been living there? The article says 'houses' were built. Was it just one individual or were there tenants? Justice should be for all.

Sukhbir Singh must be a very influential person to hold on to 1.7 hectares of prime land for so long. The real test is if he faces any serious legal consequences or just loses the land. Otherwise, these drives are just for show.

As someone who has lived in Indore, land mafias are a real problem. This sends a strong message. Hope the freed land is now used for public good - maybe a park, school, or hospital for the people of Pipliya Rao.

Why does it always take a court order and years of trial for such obvious illegal encroachment? The system needs to be faster. Think of the lost revenue for the city all these years. Still, better late than never. Kudos to the joint team.

This is how governance should work. Coordinated action by SDM, municipal corp, and police. Indore is already a clean city, now it's becoming a model for administrative action too. Proud of my city! 🇮🇳
