Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) Commissioner D.B. Natesh on Wednesday said notices had been issued to encroachers of Devanur Lake and action will be taken to evict them in the next 10 to 15 days.
Participating in an interaction programme with residents and people’s representatives of the areas around Devanur Lake organised by Andolana, a Kannada daily, he said about 20 guntas of the lake area spread across 12.37 acres had been encroached.
A joint inspection was conducted by officials of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and MUDA, which revealed that about 14 to 15 houses had been constructed on the 20 guntas. “Notices have already been issued and action will be taken along with MCC to remove the encroachments in the next 10 to 15 days”, he said.
