Part of a marriage hall belonging to a Samajwadi Party leader, allegedly encroaching a road, was bulldozed in Kannauj district of Uttar Pradeshon Tuesday. The marriage hall belonged to former Samajwadi Party District Treasurer Cash Khan. 

A heavy police force including municipal workers was present along with Sadar Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Ramkesh during the operation. 

SDM Ramkesh said that the SP leader had illegally encroached on the road during the previous government in the state and constructed the marriage hall. The road was closed by putting a lintel on the road and installing a gate.

कन्नौज में समाजवादी नेता कैश खां का अवैध निर्माण गिराया गया। नगर पालिका की रोड ब्लॉक कर करवाया था निर्माण। 2 महीने पहले दिया गया था नोटिस। इसके जवाब में कैश ने कोर्ट से लिया था स्टे। स्टे अवधि खत्म होते ही गिराया गया कब्ज़ा। #Kannauj #SamajwadiParty @NBTLucknow pic.twitter.com/bpAMTemBgi

The SDM reached the spot on Tuesday morning with a heavy police force and ordered the demolition of the alleged illegal construction with a JCB machine. Meanwhile, the municipal workers started breaking the wall. 

The official said that the notices were given to the SP leader by the Public Works Department (PWD) and the local municipality. However, the encroachment was not removed. 

The Archaeological Department and the Master Plan Office also sent notices to Cash Khan several times regarding the illegal construction. 

In November last year, the Kannauj administration issued a demolition notice to the SP leader and gave three days to remove the encroachment. 

But Khan took a stay order from a local court, due to which the demolition action was stopped. However, after the expiry of the stay order, the administration demolished the illegal construction on Tuesday.
