An official source said on Wednesday that after over 200 notices were served to the residents, MUDA received several responses from them. Wednesday was the last day for submission of replies.
“We are examining the replies to the notices served to the residents and accordingly the matter will be followed up,” the official added. MUDA will examine the documents of the residents to ensure whether they are legal occupants of the place as per the records of the Revenue department.
If the occupants are residents of private land, their patta will be examined.
