During the campaign, the shocking fact came to light that the actual width of the road through which thousands of people pass every day was about 75 feet, but due to encroachment it was reduced to just 25 feet. This was the reason that during festivals and market days it became difficult to even walk here and there was a traffic jam all the time.

First notice, then strictness

The Municipal Corporation had adopted the complete procedure before taking this action. People were warned by miking in Doranda market and a notice was issued clearly stating that they should remove the encroachment themselves before Thursday, otherwise the corporation will remove it by force. Despite this, most of the encroachers ignored the warning, due to which they had to suffer the consequences.

Even after the action started, many people continued shoplifting. But as the scope of encroachment removal increased and the strictness of the administration became visible, people themselves packed their belongings and started moving away.

Municipal Corporation is in aggressive mode, campaign has started in many areas
