The issue of bulldozing illegal properties by the Haryana government continues to remain in discussions in political spheres. The government has continuously taken action against such people who built the houses and buildings using the money earned through drug trafficking.
In wake of the increasing cases of drug trafficking and illegal constructions, the government is on toes to tighten the noose around the neck of such elements who have been involved in this trade. The town planning wing and the state police in collaboration with other departments have demolished structures of drug peddlers across the state at large scale. Haryana police have intensified its drive against most wanted criminals and drug peddlers.
In continuation to this, there was a lot of uproar on the first day of Haryana assembly regarding the matter. The statistics revealed that as many as 178 illegal buildings and structures were demolished. Out of this, such properties or houses were demolished on a large scale, which were erected by the owner through the drug business. The government is continuously investigating the history of such people who illegally purchased properties. Of the total illegal properties or houses that have been demolished in Haryana, about 40 percent are such immovable properties that were acquired by people involved in the illegal business of drugs.
