SDO, Lilong sub-division Angom Shijalembi has appealed to the people in the sub-division to refrain from encroaching on government land including river banks.
She was interacting with people of the area during an eviction drive carried out by a joint team of officials from the DC office, police and water resources department on Tuesday.
WRD chief engineer was also present during the drive, which the locals supported.
She said that encroachment on public land and river banks create disturbances to the public.
Many people are encroaching on government land even though they know that it is illegal and they will face action.
Similar eviction drive had been carried out at the exact location in the past and yet people still encroach on the land as if they do not care about legal actions, she observed and strongly advised against repeating such acts in future.
