Enforcement Officers of the Government Property Division this morning moved in to reclaim some 20 rooms and wartime shelters near the Yellow Garage below City Gate in Valletta.

A spokesman for the division said the operation has gone smoothly.

“People have realised that when we hand them eviction notices, we will act on them, and they are therefore removing their belongings in good time. What we are finding now is mostly rubbish,” he said. However a small generator, a small TV set and a fan was found in one of the rooms.

This morning’s operation was conducted together with workers from the Works Division who welded the doors of the former wartime shelters and other rooms in the bastions.
