JAIPUR: All encroachments in BSF Amanishah Nullah, a dry river bed zigzagging through the city, will have to go by May 2013. The Rajasthan high court set the six-month deadline on Wednesday, though the state government requested nine months for the 'unpopular task' that it will now have to complete in an election year.

In another significant move, the court issued notices to 10 colonisers/societies allegedly responsible for the encroachments in the nullah and asked them to explain why they should not be made to pay the compensation. At the same time, the government has been told to probe the roles of its officers who connived with these colonisers/societies in settling people there.
