The state government of Uttar Pradesh has directed all urban bodies to identify and remove illegal constructions and encroachments on government lands, including parks and ponds. The government has also ordered that information regarding the encroachments should be provided on the Anti Land Mafia Portal (IGRS Portal).
The government’s move comes after the success of its anti-land mafia campaign, which has freed land worth thousands of crores of rupees from the land mafia. The urban bodies have been directed to mark public lands, parks, and ponds in their jurisdictions that are being encroached upon by the land mafia or anyone else. These government properties should be freed from encroachments, and necessary legal action should be taken against the illegal occupants.
The Directorate of Local Bodies will make the information regarding the encroachments available to the government. The Revenue Department has been running an anti-land mafia campaign since 2017 to remove encroachments from public lands and to take effective action against illegal encroachers. To ensure the success of the campaign, a four-level task force has been constituted at the state, divisional, district, and tehsil levels.
Chief Secretary DS Mishra is the chairman of the State Level Anti Land Mafia Task Force (SLALMTF), while the Principal Secretary of Urban Development, along with other departments, are members of this SLALMTF. With this directive, the responsibility of removing illegal encroachments on government land now falls on the urban bodies, who will have to ensure that all such encroachments are registered on the IGRS Portal.
