Varanasi (UP), Jul 20 (PTI) The district administration here on Sunday removed encroachments near the Circuit House area under the Cantonment police station limits in Varanasi, citing security concerns, an official said.
According to PWD Executive Engineer KK Singh, illegal encroachments around the Lat Shahi Mazar adjacent to the Circuit House were cleared after due process.
“Notices were served and documents were sought from the occupants. Upon verification, it was found that except for the mazar, the surrounding structures were unauthorized encroachments,” Singh said.
He added that the Circuit House frequently hosts high-profile delegates and the presence of encroachments in the vicinity was a potential threat to their security. PTI COR ABN NB
