Number of encroachments demolished on Nepal border in UP

Lucknow, Apr 27 (UNI) The Uttar Pradesh government has launched a major campaign against illegal encroachments and unrecognised religious institutions in districts bordering Nepal, official sources said here on Sunday.
Sources said that numerous encroachments on valuable border land were cleared as part of this initiative to reclaim state-owned territory between April 25 and 27.
Sources said that a total of 227 illegal encroachments on government land were identified within 0-10 km of the India-Nepal border in Bahraich's Tehsil Nanpara. "Following the removal of 63 encroachments earlier, 26 more were cleared between April 25-27, bringing the total to 89. No religious or educational structures were found at any of the encroached sites," they said.
Sources said that action has been taken against 17 unrecognised madrasas in Shravasti district. "Seven madrasas in Tehsil Jamunha and 10 in Tehsil Bhinga were shut down due to missing documents," they said.
Sources said that action is ongoing under the Revenue Code in 119 cases of illegal encroachments, both temporary and permanent, in the 0-15 km area adjacent to the India-Nepal border.

Sources said that in Naugarh tehsil of Siddharth Nagar district, illegal encroachments have been confirmed at five locations within 10 km of the Nepal border, including the construction of a mosque and madrasa. "Investigation and action are ongoing under the guidance of higher officials," they said.
Sources said that illegal encroachments have been found in Farenda, Nautanwa and Nichlaul tehsils in Maharajganj district. "While one case is pending in court, eviction and demolition actions are underway in the remaining cases," they said.
Sources said that in Balrampur district, seven illegal encroachments on government land have been identified, including five in Balrampur tehsil and two in Tulsipur tehsil. "Two illegal occupants voluntarily vacated the land, while eviction proceedings are underway against the others under UP Revenue Code," they said.
Sources said that the Yogi government has made it clear that illegal occupations and unrecognised religious or educational institutions within 10 km of the Nepal border will not be tolerated. "The administration has been directed to remove identified encroachments promptly and ensure continuous monitoring," they said.
