ENCROACHMENT on public land is playing havoc with our society. The police and civil administration which should be eliminating this menace are themselves steeped in these vices.

The land grabbers are openly encroaching upon amenity, government and public land with the help of fake and fabricated documents generally called China cutting, obtained fraudulently in connivance with corrupt officials.

The DG KDA has taken some action and in spite of fierce resistance several plots of precious government and public land have been successfully ecovered from land grabbers.

It is my fervent appeal that land encroachment should not go unchecked under any circumstances.
