Proving a major blow to businessmen, who are operating their commercial units on leased land from the irrigation department, the cabinet decided to cancel the lease. The lease was provided to various individuals on the Rajpur Road and when the district started the smart city project they had to face hurdles.
Encroachment on the Rajpur Road was removed but the leased land of the irrigation department was posing a big challenge in road broadening and other development works. With the cabinet nod, now the technical problem has been cleared.
