An illegal encroachment near the Government Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital in Supela, Bhilai, was cleared after officials discovered that a portion of government land had been occupied by Shivnath Automobiles (Mahindra Motors). The encroachment was causing inconvenience in the hospital’s postmortem process, as bodies had to be transported through the regular route due to blocked access. The issue came to light during a surprise inspection by Durg District Collector Abhijeet Singh. After proper land demarcation, it was confirmed that Mahindra Motors had encroached upon the hospital-adjacent government plot. Taking swift action, Executive Magistrate Dikeshwar Sahu, Zone Commissioner Ajay Singh Rajput, Revenue Officer J.P. Tiwari, and Building Officer Arvind Sharma reached the spot along with police personnel and municipal staff to clear the encroachment. The operation began at 2:00 PM, during which the encroached area was vacated and the debris was seized using JCB machines and dumpers. Officials from Shivnath Motors were issued a strict warning and were made to sign a written statement promising that no further encroachment would be attempted

.

A legal report (panchanama) was also prepared during the process. The BMC has warned all encroachers to refrain from occupying government land. If such violations occur again, eviction will be enforced, and the cost of removal will be recovered from the violators. Officials present during the eviction included Government Revenue Inspector Narsingh Sahu, Assistant Revenue Officer Prasanna Tiwari, Basant Dewangan, Engineer Purushottam Sinha, Chandan Nirmalkar, Revenue Inspector Shashank Shekhar, Demolition Officer Hariom Gupta, Supervisor Inam Singh Kannauj, Niranjan Asati, Nandu Sinha, Rajesh Gupta, Tosendra Sahu, Rajendra Singh, Hemlal Yadav, Mangal Jangde and Vishnu Soni.
