The operation, which went on for three hours on Saturday, was carried out under the supervision of senior officials of GNIDA, supported by security personnel, using three JCB machines and two dump-trucks. The enforcement team demolished illegal constructions and freed the land, officials said.

AK Singh, general manager, Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority, said that the encroached land was located in Bisrakh village’s submerged zone under plot numbers 322, 323, 324, 325, 331, 332, and 333. Unauthorised plotting in this area violates the authority’s regulations, and such activities will not be tolerated, he said.

“Strict directives have been issued to curb encroachments in notified and submerged zones and the authority has been taking regular action to maintain the integrity of its lands,” said GNIDA CEO NG Ravi Kumar.
