The two huts were removed as part of the drive against encroachers in reserved forests, said Munal and added that under Kakching range there are Thongam Mondum reserved forest, Thongjao reserved forest and Waikhong reserved forest.
All encroachers on the said reserved forests will be evicted in due course of time, said the Range Officer and urged all encroachers to move out voluntarily before they are evicted.
Another house which had been built at Langol reserved forest was also pulled apart by a team from the Forest Range Office of Sadar West.
Encroaching on reserved forest area has damaged reserve forest areas a lot with wildfire gutting large portions of Gwarok Reserved Forest in Thoubal district on April 15.Earlier too wildfire had devasted a large portion of Cheiraoching.
Police also had to swing into action and evict a number of encroachers from Langol Reserved Forest recently.
