The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has directed the Madurai district administration to remove government buildings, offices of political parties, places of worship and commercial buildings that were constructed by encroaching upon the BB Kulam tank. A Division Bench of Justices T.S. Sivagnanam and S. Ananthi directed the authorities to take action and file a status report. The court was informed by the State that 100 shops that were constructed on the tank were already demolished as part of the eviction drive. Several people who had constructed the houses on the water body had rented it out to third parties. The third parties were convinced that they could no longer continue in the said premises and had vacated. But those persons who had rented the premises were keeping it under lock and key, the State said.More Related News
