We will issue notices and take appropriate action against the encroachers as per the law soon. Apart from this, coordination of irrigation officials will be sought to identify the encroachments and to clear them all. We will keep a vigil in the area henceforth and will ensure no fresh encroachments will come up over the Lake and its stream," informed the MRO. The team of revenue officials thoroughly inspected the area and have decided to prepare a report with the coordination of Irrigation officials.

The report published by The Hans India "Land Sharks Eye Stream of Bam Ruknud Dowla Lake" on February 9, prompted the revenue officials to inspect the lake premises to ascertain the encroachments.
