Dear Mr Amarnath Dube,The ...

Dear Mr Amarnath Dube, The Government of Rajasthan in compliance of judgements issued and monitored by the Rajasthan High Court has issued orders and has made the encroachments in catchment areas of the rivers & natural drainage channels and water bodies illegal with effect from year 1955. It is great. The government has requested the Revenue Board Ajmer to withdraw allotment order of lands of above category and roughly ten thousand court cases have been filed in the courts in Rajasthan as the revenue department and other departments have served notice to the encroachers. On 13 September 2013, a 9 story residential complex has been demolished by the government in Amani Shah ka Nalla. The encroachments all over Rajasthan are being removed steadily by the government. The speed may be slow, but the the work is continuously in progress all over Rajasthan. Now the legal and official protection has been provided to the catchment areas and water bodies from encrochers from back date effect of 60 years. It is a big below to the encroachers. This will help in the protection of rivers and their catchment areas, dams, ponds from encroachers. If this is replicated in other parts of India and in whole of the world, I am sure it will greatly help in protection of precious water resources in the world.
