Uttar Pradesh government has taken a strict stand on illegal encroachments in the name of all religious structures built along the road.
The home department has already directed the district magistrates (DMs)and Mandalayukta of all the districts to remove all the religious places that encroach the roads.
All mandalayuktas and DMs have been asked to submit a report by March 14 stating how many religious places have been removed after the order.
