documents and voluntarily vacate the area. The land has been chosen to build a carriage and wagon department workshop. The operation was carried out without force, with many people voluntarily vacating their homes, reducing the need for railway police intervention. Railway officials, employees, and RPF personnel participated in the drive. Prior to the demolition, the railway announced the removal of encroachments through loudspeakers in the settlement on Thursday. This triggered panic among the residents. Over the past four years, more than 200 houses and numerous shops have been demolished for development purposes in Gumti Basti since the commencement of the third line project. Some of these settlements had existed for 40 to 50 years. A similar anti-encroachment drive is planned for Tatanagar station, covering the area from Gudri Bazar to Khasmahal Chowk and up to the Running Room on Kitadih Road.

The expansion of the station's second gate requires removing encroachments, including those of leaseholders, from the Burmamines area to the Malgodam bend. However, a pending court case is hindering the railway's action.
