Bulldozer Brouhaha: Punjab CM Mann Announces Anti-encroachment Drive, Demolishes Opposition Outcry

The Punjab government has announced a major crackdown on illegal encroachment on government land soon, with the CM giving an ultimatum to encroachers to vacate the areas by May 31 or face action. The Aam Aadmi Party government had faced criticism for the demolition exercise in Latifpura area of Jalandhar a few months ago, but days after recording a massive win in the election, the Mann government announced the drive. The chief minister said that the state government was committed to freeing land from encroachments and alleged that during the tenure of successive governments in the state, affluent people had illegally encroached upon precious government land by violating the norms, which is unwarranted and undesirable.
