Mariyang, Jengging, Geku and Ratan, proper planning and development of these towns is not possible and if the ongoing trend of such
encroachment is left unchecked at this stage, then there will be a chaotic situation where the charm and beauty of the towns will be lost.
While informing that there are three main types of illegal encroachments on the government land in these towns, like a) Central Encroachment by Private Individuals b) Encroachment of already allotted land to Govt. Departments by private individuals and c) Encroachment of already
allotted land to private individuals by third parties. Shri Padu solicited support of public for carrying out eviction of such unauthorized encroachment of the Govt. Land wherever necessary within the district.
