The State Government will fix monthly targets for officials to remove encroachment on government property across Karnataka, said Minister for Revenue Krishna Byre Gowda.
On August 8, the Minister told reporters in Mysuru that the administration will take up a campaign against encroachment of government land and give targets to officials to ensure that the encroachment is cleared. A meeting with officials regarding encroachment of government land in Bengaluru Urban and Bengaluru Rural districts was held on August 7. As data on encroachment was already available, officials had been told to submit by August 12 a time-table for removing the encroachments.
“We have told them to give a commitment on how many days it will take for them to clear the encroachments. The eviction should happen as per the time table they draw up,” he said.
