Action continues against encroachments on Nepal border

Lucknow, May 9 (UNI) A sustained campaign against illegal encroachments and unrecognised religious structures continues to intensify across Uttar Pradesh's border districts adjoining the Nepal border, official sources said here on Friday.
Sources said that special administrative drives have been launched in Pilibhit, Shravasti, Balrampur, Bahraich, Siddharth Nagar and Maharajganj to identify and remove unauthorised constructions, with strict action being taken in line with state law.
Sources said that in Shravasti, the District Magistrate reports confirm that all 102 illegal madrasas identified in the district have been sealed. "Besides, one unauthorised religious site has been served a formal notice. Of 5 tombs constructed on public land, 4 have already been acted upon, while one case remains sub judice in the High Court. Two unauthorised Eidgahs built on government land have also been demolished," they said.
