Most of the land allocated to the railways has been encroached upon by people in recent decades and politicians have not taken any initiative. Clear this land for the vote bank. Recently, a controversy has erupted in Haldwani due to the High Court order.

 

The Haldwani area where the railway land is said to have been invaded is a railway line area about 2200 meters long. There is an 800-foot wide encroachment around this 2200-meter-long railway line.

Now that there is a court order and the land belongs to the railways on paper, the authorities allow the bulldozers to operate on the invasion.

It has been pointed out in the petition that people involved in illegal mining have invaded railway lands. After the issue of the railway lands arose, the court also requested the railway’s response. Railways have proven that the land belongs to them by showing a 1959 notice, a 1971 revenue record, and a 2017 land survey.

 

When it was proven in the High Court that the land belonged to the Railways, the order was given to vacate the land. The people who live here had not taken part in the case until then. People had approached the Supreme Court against the land eviction order. However, after a lengthy hearing, the Nainital High Court accepted the encroachment on the railway land on the basis of the evidence. Now the administration is trying to evict this land.
