The Maharashtra government had passed a resolution on January 20, 2025 for all encroachments to be removed from various forts in the state (Express)
The historic Sinhagad Fort in Pune district will be closed to the public till June 2 due to a massive anti-encroachment drive being carried out here by the state forest department.
The Maharashtra government had passed a resolution on January 20, 2025 for all encroachments to be removed from various forts in the state. Hence, an anti-encroachment drive started at Sinhagad Fort on May 29.
A press release issued Friday by the forest department stated that Sinhagad Fort will remain closed to the public till June 2.
Illegal constructions on forest and private land on Sinhagad Fort that were made without seeking essential permission from the Archeology department and other government offices were identified. Notices were issued to parties who made these illegal constructions, asking them to clear the encroachments.
A drive led by the forest department to removing these encroachments was started on May 29 and will continue as some illegal reinforced cement concrete constructions are yet to be cleared. Forest officials said it was not possible to use heavy machinery to remove the encroachments at the fort. All illegal constructions were being cleared manually and hence the drive was taking more time.
Along with the forest department, teams from the Pune District Collector, Pune rural police, the Revenue Department, Archaeology Department, panchayat samiti, and the Public Works Department are involved in the action to remove unauthorised structures at Sinhagad Fort for the last two days.
