Saralnama86 illegal colonies with 10,000 plots have been built on Housing Board's acquired land from B-2 Bypass to Sanganer in Jaipur. The Supreme Court rejected the state government's plea to regularize these colonies. The court ordered the removal of encroachments and action against officials who approved illegal constructions. About 80% of houses are already built in these colonies. The Housing Board has listed 69 colonies with 7,258 plots, where 70-80% settlement has occurred. This ruling affects nearly 10,000 plot holders. The government had planned to issue leases for these colonies, but the court's decision now allows the Housing Board to clear the land.
