The anti encroachment operation in Chunian has intensified, with para force teams carrying out actions in different neighborhoods. During the operation, sheds attached to houses and other structures are being demolished, raising concerns among residents.

The administration maintains that the operation is being conducted under legal provisions and strict supervision to eliminate encroachments and improve public access.
Citizens have called for greater transparency and fairness, urging authorities to take action only against structures that genuinely obstruct movement.
The situation reflects the need for balanced enforcement to ensure urban order while maintaining public trust.
