New Delhi: In a major anti-encroachment drive, Delhi Development Authority (DDA), in coordination with Delhi Police, demolished illegal under-construction farmhouses spread across 5,060 square metres in the upscale Sainik Farms area.
“Taking action against encroachment in posh colonies of Delhi, we carried out the demolition drive in Sainik Farms, thereby reclaiming high-value land,” a DDA official said. The action, carried out between April 24 and 26, targeted unauthorised constructions over more than two bighas of land. The encroachments were located on DDA-acquired land in Saidalajab village, which falls within the Sainik Farms zone.
According to officials, the illegal structures had been under development for a long time and were part of a broader trend of unauthorised land use in the area.
The move follows recent directions from Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, who has instructed DDA to take stringent measures against encroachments and ensure the recovery of valuable public land. “We have planned further action in such posh areas in a scheduled manner,” the official added.
The DDA is expected to continue its crackdown in other high-value areas where encroachments on government land have been reported.
