Police officials said that maintaining law and order during the action was a priority so that there is no loss of violence or life and property.
Apart from Chandola Lake, illegal settlements have also been found in areas like Shah Alam, Siyasatnagar, Nawabnagar and Phulgiri roofs. The police have indicated that similar action can be taken in these areas in the coming days.
