Ballari: The Ballari district administration on Monday reclaimed nearly four acres of government land in Gautham Nagar layout in an early-morning operation.
The land included 2 acres and 77 cents that had been granted to a trust about 14 years ago for the welfare of disadvantaged and intellectually disabled children.
A team of revenue officials, assisted by the police, used JCB machines to clear the encroachments on land in Survey No. 607/* 1A.
The operation also resulted in the removal of a compound wall built around nearly 1.23 acres of government land and an adjoining public road that had allegedly been encroached upon.
The administration had earlier granted 2.77 acres in the same survey number to Arogya Nikethana Trust for social welfare activities.
The grant stipulated that the land be put to the intended use within two years.
As the condition was not met, the grant was cancelled after following the due procedure and the land was taken back by the government.
With Monday’s operation, the administration reclaimed nearly four acres in the survey number.
This was the 17th such operation undertaken by the district administration.
Additional Deputy Commissioner Mohammed Zuber said the task force, formed to retrieve government land, had so far reclaimed more than 150 acres across Ballari district.
Assistant Commissioner Rajesh HD, Ballari taluk Tahsildar Narasappa and other revenue officials and police personnel were part of the operation.
