Coimbatore: The city corporation on Monday resumed its encroachment eviction drive along Krishnampathy lake and demolished 68 houses on the bund to enable the lake rejuvenation and beautification project.
The civic body had removed 97 houses on Ajay Mukerjee Street and 76 on Gokulam Colony along the lake, a corporation official said. “On Monday, we demolished 68 houses on Ex-serviceman Colony along the eastern side of the lake. We have to remove 140 houses and five small temples on Om Sakthi Nagar on the other side.”
The Tamil Nadu slum clearance board (TNSCB) has provided alternative accommodation to all families residing along the lake at the housing unit in Thiru Vi Ka Nagar at Kovaipudur. As many as 256 families in the locality have been allotted 400sqft flats, the cost of which was borne by the Smart Cities Mission.

COIMBATORE: Racing against time to complete the lake rejuvenation projects, the city corporation has fast-tracked the drive to evict encroachments along the waterbodies in its limits.
After removing seven small temples that were built encroaching the eastern bund of Muthannnakulam earlier this week, the civic body demolished about 76 houses close to Krishnampathy lake on Thursday.
The houses at Gokulam Colony at Pappanaickenputhur were there for years and the demolition exercise was launched after allotting alternative housing to the residents in tenements built by the Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board.
However, the residents resisted the move and demanded they be allowed to stay there. Officials held multiple rounds of talks, but in vain. Eventually, the officials disconnected the power supply and went ahead with the demolition, despite the people’s objection.
