The minister said, nullah was encroached upon and slabs were placed over it to run a restaurant. The slabs broke down, but  no loss of life was reported, he added.

“I have instructed them to ensure that there is no encroachment over the nullaha.  We have given such instructions earlier also. People should not support any kind of encroachment,” said the minister.
