The Indore Municipal Corporation razed four illegally built houses on a 5,000‑sq‑ft government plot in Ahirkheri within two hours, citing repeated land‑mafia encroachments.
Indore's municipal authorities took swift action on a vacant government plot in Ahirkheri, where four residential structures had been erected on roughly 5,000 square feet of land. The buildings, described as illegal by the corporation, were constructed despite the site being earmarked as public property.
A specially deployed demolition team arrived on the scene and reduced the four structures to rubble in about two hours, according to officials. The rapid removal was intended to send a clear message to land‑mafia groups that continue to seize government land for private use.
The incident underscores a broader pattern of illegal encroachments in the city, with local officials repeatedly confronting organized attempts to appropriate public land. The corporation has warned that further violations will attract similar enforcement actions.
No injuries were reported, and the cleared site is expected to remain under municipal control pending future development plans.
