Jammu, May 03: In a firm and commendable action against illegal land encroachments, Tehsildar Bhalwal Monika Sharma, accompanied by Naib Tehsildar Manjeet Singh and Patwari Narinder, led a successful operation to remove unauthorized occupation of state land in village Ranjan, under the jurisdiction of Bhalwal Tehsil.
The swift and resolute action comes as part of the administration’s ongoing drive to reclaim government-owned land from unlawful possession and send a strong message to encroachers across the region. The team, under Monika Sharma’s leadership, ensured that the encroached land was cleared without delay and restored to the state.
Tehsildar Sharma, known for her proactive and no-nonsense administrative approach, reiterated her firm commitment to protecting all categories of public land, including Custodian land, which has often been subject to systematic encroachments in sensitive areas. She stated that no illegal occupation—regardless of its duration or influence—will be tolerated, and any such attempts will be dealt with strictly under the law.
“Public land is a resource for the people and must be preserved for developmental and public welfare projects. It is our duty to protect it from any form of illegal possession,” she emphasized.
This is not the first time Monika Sharma has led from the front. Her consistent vigilance and firm handling of encroachment cases have earned her widespread appreciation from both the public and higher authorities. Her field presence during operations reflects her hands-on style of governance, setting an example for grassroots administration.
The local community has also welcomed the move, expressing hope that such decisive actions will deter future encroachments and pave the way for transparent land management in the region.
The district administration continues to prioritize the protection of government land as part of its broader strategy to maintain law and order and uphold the rule of law. Officials have affirmed that regular monitoring, public awareness, and strict legal measures will remain in force to ensure no illegal occupant is allowed to misuse public property.
