Demolition work commenced on Saturday at Gordhoi Pond in Janakpur, as authorities moved to reclaim land illegally occupied by residents. This action follows previous unsuccessful attempts to persuade encroachers to voluntarily vacate the area through notices and appeals. The move indicates a firm stance by local authorities against land encroachment. Residents had previously ignored requests to leave the pond’s perimeter. The demolition aims to restore the original boundaries of the pond. This underlines the importance of preserving public land resources. Further actions regarding the displaced structures were not immediately detailed.
