Mysuru: In a continued drive against the encroachment of assets of Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), officials have reclaimed a house worth Rs. 75 lakh in the City.

In an early morning operation on Friday December 31, MUDA officials evicted a MIG house illegally occupied by a family at Ramakrisna Nagar ‘I’ block in the City. One Kumar Kranti was staying in the house for the past 15 years. Since October 16, he was paying a rent of Rs. 8000 to one Raghu.

Saraswathipuram Police arranged for a tight security, and MUDA Commissioner Dr. D. B. Natesh who supervised the drive directed the officers to look into the possibilities of similar cases if any.

After vacating the house, a banner was erected warning the trespassers against claiming MUDA property.
