Illegal occupation started in the 1970s-80s
The area of Chandola Lake had long been a stronghold of illegal Bangladeshi migrants, where a network of human trafficking and fake documents was spread. Illegal occupation in this area started in the 1970s-80s, when a large number of migrant settlements were settled here. In 2002, an NGO settled a settlement in the region under the name of Sattasat Nagar. After this, illegal occupations on the land of Chandola Lake between 2010 and 2024 increased. According to the administration, people in this area made large -scale illegal constructions, including many illegal Bangladeshi citizens.
