Continuing its stance of a “Zero Tolerance Policy” towards encroachment, the joint enforcement squad of Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) and Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Commissionerate police on Wednesday removed the illegal encroachment on Government land near Santoshi Maa temple at Bomikhal here.
The temple had been constructed on a roadside Government land at the vital location.
During the eviction drive front portion of the temple identified by the PWD officials for development of road and drain and tin sheeted-extension of eight shops were demolished.
In another drive, eviction was carried out by the squad near Kalinga Hospital Square here where illegal extensions of Prayas kiosks were rampant and 15 structures were demolished.
