Survey Finds Fence Encroachment on Government Land in Belur Bane

Monday, June 12: A survey has revealed that a private club has erected a fence encroaching on government land in Belur Bane, a taluk under the jurisdiction of Belur Gram Panchayat, which has become a favorite destination for tourists.

As soon as the survey department's report came out, the Belur Bane Rakshana Horata Samiti demanded that the illegally erected fence be removed, but the local club said that the case has already been taken to court and that no supporting documents have been submitted.

Taluk Tahsildar K.K. Krishnamurthy had instructed the Assistant Director of Land Records on May 18 to conduct a survey and submit a report regarding the allegation that a private club has encroached on government land by erecting a fence, including government land.

This is in the possession of Belur Club and the said land is under his management.

Total 29.32 acres of various survey numbers and already reserved for Tourism Department as per District Collector’s order No. Jagh/08/2015-16 dated 06-04-2016 Paisari Survey No. 143/2 7.12 acres of land and Belur Math properties are attached together. In the meantime, Tourism Department Survey No. The boundary/boundary of the 7.12 acre land of 143.2 has been identified and the land has been handed over to the Deputy Director of Tourism Department.

Meanwhile, the office bearers of the Belur Bane Horata Samiti have alleged that government land has been encroached on in the Belur Bane area, and that the road as per the map has been encroached on. Since the physical condition needs to be checked, the complainants, Belur Club representatives and the Tourism Department have fixed a date for a joint survey and the Tahsildar has instructed the Belur Club to conduct a survey with police protection to determine whether there is any encroachment on the government land, road as per the map and submit an accurate report.

Accordingly, the Horata Samiti, local club, Tourism Department and villagers held a meeting last week. On 27.05.2026, the Belur Bane area was surveyed under the leadership of Surveyor Narasaiah, and the report revealed that the club had fenced off the area, including government land.

In the report submitted to the Tahsildar, there is 1.50 acres of paisari land in S.No. 86/1 of Belur Bane area. 0.90 acres of Kadanga land (paisari in RTC) in 144/5 is a cart path and footpath. There is 3.80 acres of land in S.No. 134/2, which is adjacent to the club land, and the club has fenced off the area, including government land. This area is a village land as per RTC. 86/1C. There is 3.90 acres of land, and the said area is recorded in the village map. But the report mentions that it has not been recorded in RTC and Aakarabandu.

Meanwhile, the entry of tourists has been blocked due to the fencing of the area under the Tourism Department. However, no action has been taken by the department. In response to a question asked under the Right to Information, only information was provided that permission was not given to erect a fence, and no restrictions were imposed on tourists, and no instructions were given to the club concerned to remove the fence. This has also led to the anger of the protest committee. Now, it has been officially revealed from the survey that the government land is encroached, and since there is also a village land, the responsibility has also fallen on the Forest Department. It remains to be seen what action the Revenue, Forest and Tourism Departments will take to preserve their land.
