occupants from the land.

permission has been granted to the State for the land which is occupied by the
encroachers and if the land in question is vested with the National Highways
Authority of India, only the National Highways Authority of India is competent to
remove those encroachers and the National Highways Authority of India should
also show cause as to why the encroachers have not been removed till now from
the land in question, which is obstructing the important project of laying pipelines of
the State Government.

Authority of India.
