The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has taken a significant step towards freeing up land from encroachment by demolishing the Raj Nagar slum. The slum, located in Nagpur, was cleared to release the Fire College land from illegal occupation. The move is part of NMC’s efforts to reclaim public land and tackle the issue of encroachment in the city. The demolition of the slum has been a long-standing demand from local authorities to ensure the proper utilization of the Fire College land. By razing the Raj Nagar slum, the NMC aims to address the encroachment problem and create more space for development projects in the area. The decision has received mixed reactions from the residents of the slum, with some expressing concern over losing their homes. However, NMC officials have assured that necessary measures will be taken to provide alternative housing options for those affected by the demolition. This move is expected to pave the way for the Fire College land to be utilized for its intended purpose, benefiting the community at large. The NMC’s action highlights the ongoing efforts to address land encroachment issues in Nagpur and promote planned development in the city.
