Authorities on Sunday carried out a massive anti-encroachment drive in different parts of Jammu.

84 structures, including six large commercial buildings, were demolished during the day-long drive which led to the retrieval of over 260 kanals (32.5 acres) of state land worth crores of rupees from encroachers.

Dozens of structures, including buildings and shops, were demolished partially or completely near the Bathindi crossing on the Narwal Bypass early in the morning by the revenue department amid heavy deployment of police and paramilitary forces.

The workers of DOGRA FRONT & SHIV SENA under the leadership of President Mr ASHOK GUPTA took out a protest rally in Jammu city against the land mafia hailing the efforts of the administration against the miscreants who have been occupying the state land.

Mr Gupta said that said the drive was carried out in accordance with the laid down rules to reclaim state land illegally occupied by people, and there was no violation on part of the administration.

A large patch of 220 kanals of state land located near the Tawi river in Jammu Khas has also been retrieved after dismantling 15 structures, the spokesman said, adding the total value of this patch is estimated to be close to Rs 200 crore as per stamp duty rates.

Another prime patch of land, totalling 40 kanals, situated along the national highway in Chhanni Ramahas also been retrieved simultaneously,
