Over a 100 letters were distributed on
Monday afternoon warning caravan squatters in Bahar ic-Caghaq to remove their
caravans within 48 hours or else face consequences.
Hundreds of caravan owners have occupied
public land illegally and some have even audaciously built permanent structures
around their claimed territory. These
will be removed by government officials at the caravan owners expense if they
are not removed by the squatters themselves.
The warning follows similar actions taken
recently in Sliema, Marsascala, Bugibba, Xlendi and other locations where
street furniture was removed from public land and encroachment permits
withdrawn.
