MP’s Sagar Cracks Down On Banda Illicit Liquor Case Suspect, Reclaims 4.79 Hectares Of Government Land

In Banda's Sagar district, the local administration has cracked down on illegal liquor-related land encroachment and reclaimed 4.79 hectares of government land. The action came after Chief Minister Mohan Yadav instructed authorities to take a strong stance against suspects in the illicit liquor case, with zero tolerance for such violations.

Chandrabhan Rajput, a suspect involved in the Sagar spurious liquor case, was found to have illegally occupied a portion of the village kotwar land in Simariya Uvari village. The investigation revealed that he had cultivated crops on two plots measuring 4.56 hectares and 0.23 hectares, totaling 4.79 hectares.

A joint team from the revenue and police departments swiftly intervened, clearing the encroachment and returning the land to the government's possession. They also demolished Saurabh Hotel and Saurabh Dhaba, which had unlawfully occupied government land along National Highway-44 (NH-44). This bulldozing reclaimed acres of government property worth significant financial value.

The encroachment removal drive extended from Bandra to Malthon Toll, with a joint team of revenue and police officials taking action. They dismantled the illegal extensions of a roadside dhaba (food stall) built on government land adjacent to the highway, falsely claiming it as their private property. All illegal dhabas and structures occupying government land along the highway are now being identified and removed to ensure adherence to the zero-tolerance policy.
