The illegal constructions on the land of former MLA Khalis Azim alias Ashraf were demolished by the Prayagraj Development Authority.
The Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA) razed illegal constructions on the land of former SP MLA Khalid Azim alias Ashraf, brother of former MP Ateeq Ahmed.
PDA demolished illegal construction on over 150 bighas of land in Rawatpur area of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.
A boundary wall was allegedly built around the plot of land and illegal plotting was being done on it without obtaining permits from the Prayagraj Development Authority. The PDA has levelled the entire plot of land.
The illegal plotting was allegedly being carried out by former MLA Ashraf and his partner, Atul Dwivedi. Notably, Ashraf is an alleged land mafia and is currently lodged in Bareilly jail.
Meanwhile, over 50 criminals have given themselves up to police in two weeks after the BJP returned to power in Uttar Pradesh, according to an official.
Reports from various parts of Uttar Pradesh also suggest several illegal encroachments have been removed with bulldozers which many consider now a new emblem of the Yogi Adityanath government.
