Strict action against illegal construction in Meerut; 16,726 houses to be sealed including Begumpul and Brahmpuri

The administration in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, has geared up to take strict action against illegal constructions. Recently, a hearing took place in the Supreme Court concerning a case related to the Central Market, where the court took a stern stance after officials submitted a report covering only a single zone. Following the court's displeasure, the local administration has decided to launch a comprehensive campaign against illegal constructions across the entire city.

According to official data, preparations have been made to seal a total of 16,726 houses across various parts of the city. These properties have been categorized as illegal constructions. Densely populated areas such as Begumpul and Brahmpuri are also under the scanner, where a large number of structures were reportedly built in violation of regulations.

This administrative move has caused a stir in the city. The survey to identify illegal constructions has been completed. Now, the process of sealing these properties will commence. Officials stated that complying with the Supreme Court's directives is mandatory and no form of illegal construction will be spared.

During the hearing on the Central Market case, the bench had clarified that a report on just one zone was insufficient. The court had demanded a detailed report on the status of the entire city. It was only after this that the administration prepared data for all zones, identifying 16,726 illegal houses.

There is an atmosphere of concern among local residents and shopkeepers regarding this action. People are anxious about the news of sealing in major commercial and residential areas like Begumpul and Brahmpuri. The administration has clarified that this action is being carried out strictly under legal procedures.

In the coming days, administrative teams will reach these areas to execute the sealing process. There is a plan to complete this campaign with the deployment of police forces to ensure that any potential opposition can be managed.

This is being considered the largest drive against illegal construction in Meerut to date. The administration has appealed to the public to follow the rules and avoid illegal construction. Such monitoring will continue in the future to ensure the city is organized and compliant.
