In the drive, which is on-going for removal of encroachments, it is so far
noticed that only the State Police is active, whereas the municipal authorities, i.e.,
Ranchi Municipal Corporation and Ranchi Regional Development Authority, have
primary responsibility of removing encroachments. They are made party-respondents.
Their lawyers are present and take notice on their behalf. They are mandated that they
would immediately start a drive for identification of those encroachments which are
beyond the limits of the ownership of the people and also such constructions which are
in violation of sanctioned map. Such encroachers will be put on notice of 12-24 hours to
remove the encroachments suo motu or otherwise authorities will take action. The
petitioner is mandated to take a weekly videography of the roads and lanes where the
encroachments are rampant. Such videography will be put to the authorities to judge
their performance.
Put up on 4.2.2011.
