Residents of Omkareshwar expressed anger after an encroachment notice was issued, demanding a hearing and document verification before any action. Congress leader Uttam Pal Singh raised doubts over previous claims made by local representatives.
Local residents of Omkareshwar voiced strong displeasure after authorities issued a notice concerning alleged encroachments on public land. The community said they were not given an opportunity to present their case or review the supporting documents before the notice was served.
The aggrieved inhabitants called for a formal hearing and a thorough examination of the paperwork that underpins the encroachment claim. They argued that such procedural safeguards are essential to prevent unwarranted action against legitimate occupants.
Amid the unrest, Congress leader Uttam Pal Singh intervened, questioning the credibility of earlier statements made by elected representatives regarding the disputed area. Singh’s remarks added a political dimension to the dispute, prompting further scrutiny of the notice’s basis.
