OUR CORRESPONDENT

KOLKATA: Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday expressed zero tolerance against further encroachment of government land and has set a six-month deadline for conceiving a policy for imposing penalty on existing encroachers.

She directed for framing a rational penalty amount by June 2025. Such an amount will be levied upon existing encroachers. "They will not be able to pay as per the current market rate. There may be three slabs. The penalty can be 100 per cent for buildings used for commercial purposes. In the case of residential buildings, there should be concessions for the common people. This will also accord legality as these encroachers do not have any document," Banerjee said.
