Some Defence land under the management of various authorities is under encroachment or illegal occupation. The state-wise details are as follows:
Any encroachment of Defence lands is liable for removal and also for payment of damage charges as per the law. Hence loss caused, if any, is recoverable. The action for eviction of the encroached lands is taken under the provisions of the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971 and Cantonments Act, 2006.
This information was given by Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in a written reply to Shri Somen Mitra in Lok Sabha on 30 Nov 2009. PK / RAJ
Encroachment of Defence Lands
Comment:
The AHQ need to vigorously pursue encroachment cases diligently. Area Commanders are responsible for securing and upkeep of Defence Lands. Sadly they close their eyes when they get paltry personal favours from the encroachers, conmen, hoodlums and Political Criminals. Sukhna Land scam is only the tip of the iceberg. The Defence Minister instead of preaching in the Lok Sabha need to fight the Land Grabbers and MOD bureaucrats on the ground and not on paper!
