The Defence Ministry has expressed its inability to remove unauthorised encroachments on 11,179 acres of its land, in a submission before Parliament's audit watchdog Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
According to details shared by the ministry with the parliamentary panel, defence land measuring about 11,179 acres was encroached upon till October 2015.
Expressing concern over encroachment of defence land, the panel in a draft report said, "What is even more disturbing for the committee to note in the ministry's submission that these encroachments cannot be removed and have to be regularised."
