Andaman reclaims 6,000 square meters of encroached land in an eviction drive

During a series of four eviction campaigns conducted in Rangat Tehsil, the District Administration of North & Middle Andaman effectively reclaimed 6000 square meters of Government land from unlawful encroachments. The activities cleared land used for arecanut and banana plantations, focusing on encroached areas in Santanu and Rampur villages.

The team cleared 5000 square meters in Rampur village and reclaimed 1000 square meters in Santanu village. The local Revenue and Police Departments actively supported the eviction drive, assuring that it went off without a hitch and that the public was not inconvenienced. Mr. Dilkhush Meena, IAS, Deputy Commissioner of North and Middle Andaman, praised the well-coordinated efforts of Revenue officials, law enforcement officers, and local authorities in carrying out the eviction effectively. He reaffirmed the Administration’s dedication to safeguarding public land and making sure it is used properly for the good of the neighborhood.

In keeping with the District Administration’s objectives of encouraging sustainable development and inclusive governance, the reclaimed land will be put to new uses for the general public. In addition, the Administration warned the public not to trespass on government property and threatened to take legal action against anyone found in violation of the regulations.
