What happened in the Supreme Court today?
The Supreme Court stayed the High Court order to remove encroachment from railway land in the Banbhulpura area of Haldwani. The date of February 7 was fixed for the hearing of the case.

Railway officials say that there is encroachment from 400 feet to 820 feet width from the rail line. Railways are claiming possession of about 78 acres of land.

The areas where bulldozers are to be used include Dholak Basti, Gafoor Basti, Line No. 17, Nai Basti, Indranagar Chhoti Road, and Indranagar Badi Road.
Where did the whole controversy start?
In 2013, a PIL stated that illegal mining was taking place in the Gaura river near the railway station. It was said in the petition that the bridge over the river collapsed in 2004 because of illegal mining. On the petition, the court sought a response from the Railways. By showing the notification of 1959, revenue record of 1971, and land survey of 2017, Railways said that this land belongs to Railways and has been encroached upon.
It was proved in the High Court that the land belonged to the Railways. Only after this people were given the notice to vacate the land. People turned to the Supreme Court for the order to vacate the land. After this, the Supreme Court asked the High Court to hear the side of these people also. After a long hearing, the High Court accepted the matter of encroachment in this area. On December 20, the Uttarakhand High Court ordered the removal of railway land in Haldwani considering its encroachment. Now the administration is busy preparing to remove it. Meanwhile, on January 2, the affected filed a petition in the Supreme Court, which was heard today. After which the court stayed the order of the High Court.
How many people would be affected by this action?
For those who did not remove the encroachment till January 2, their encroachment was to be demolished and it was said to recover the cost from the encroachments. About fifty to sixty thousand people live in this entire area. Out of these, about 35 thousand people have a Voter ID card. These people say that they have been living here for many decades. Some people claim that they have been living here for 70-80 years. Had the stay not been granted by the Supreme Court, the district administration would have bulldozed it on January 10.
