Rajasthan police used a bulldozer to demolish illegal structures occupying 78,000 square feet of pasture land in Lhas village, Jhalawar, as part of a crackdown on land‑mafia encroachments.
Authorities in Rajasthan deployed a bulldozer in Lhas village, Jhalawar, to raze structures that had illegally occupied about 78,000 square feet of designated pasture land. The operation was carried out under heavy police supervision to ensure safety and prevent resistance from the encroachers.
The police presence was described as “intense” by local officials, with several teams securing the perimeter while the bulldozer cleared the occupied area. The demolition removed makeshift buildings, storage sheds and other constructions that had been set up without any legal sanction.
Officials said the action targets a persistent pattern of land‑mafia activity that threatens agricultural and grazing lands in the region. By restoring the pasture, the government aims to protect the livelihoods of local farmers and herders who depend on the land for livestock grazing.
