Revenue officials began an encroachment eviction drive on Kondaneri tank in Rajapalayam on Tuesday.
Buildings including residences, temples and shops were removed with heavy machineries amidst protest by the squatters.
However, the eviction process, led by Rajapalayam Tahsildar, P. Ramachandran, continued with the huge posse of police personnel, headed by Rajapalayam Deputy Superintendent of Police, Ramakrishnan, deployed at the site.
The tank which has a water spread area of 120 acres, was encroched upon to the extent of six acres, for around 40 years.
"Based on the instruction of the State Government following a Supreme Court order to remove all encroachments from water bodies, eviction on around four acres was removed," the Tahsildar said.
