In an effort to free up land from encroachment, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) recently demolished the Raj Nagar slum, clearing the way for the Fire College to utilize the area. The slum, which was illegally occupying the land, was brought down by the authorities as part of their drive to reclaim public property. The move comes as a relief to the Fire College, which can now expand its facilities on the cleared land. The NMC has been cracking down on encroachments across the city to ensure proper land usage and to prevent illegal settlements. This action is in line with the government’s efforts to promote organized urban development and provide necessary infrastructure for public services. The demolition of the Raj Nagar slum is a step towards creating more space for essential institutions and facilities in Nagpur. It also sends a strong message to those who engage in illegal encroachments that such activities will not be tolerated. The NMC is determined to continue its drive against encroachments and ensure that public land is utilized appropriately for the benefit of the city and its residents.
