The Amritsar Municipal Corporation (MC) on Wednesday carried out a special anti-encroachment drive on Narayangarh Vegetable Market Road as part of its ongoing campaign to keep the city free from illegal encroachments.
During the drive, civic body teams removed unauthorised occupations from roads and public spaces, helping improve traffic flow and reducing inconvenience to commuters and local residents.
The MC also took strict action against individuals responsible for littering and illegally occupying public areas. A total of 13 challans were issued during the enforcement drive.
Officials advised shopkeepers and street vendors to refrain from encroaching on public roads and footpaths and to maintain cleanliness around their establishments. They warned that strict action would be taken against repeat violators and those found flouting civic regulations.
Municipal corporation officials said similar drives against encroachments and unhygienic conditions would continue in different parts of the city in the coming days. They stressed that such initiatives are essential to ensure smooth traffic movement, maintain public hygiene and improve the overall urban environment.
Residents were urged to cooperate with civic authorities by adhering to regulations.
