JAIPUR: Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) and JMC Greater on Thursday jointly removed 150 temporary encroachments between Shyam Nagar and Ajmer Road, Mansarovar and Gopalpura bypass, and the Riddhi Siddhi and Triveni intersections. JDA also demolished five illegal colonies on 12 bighas of agricultural land.
