What must be done to curb encroachment of road in the city?
Recently, we saw a gang war between two political parties. The issue was the encroachment of roads/footpaths by vendors. I thought vendors are poor people without any support, but now encroachments have become a business for mafias. Local politicians and their goons are using the poor to grab footpaths and roads pushing senior citizens, women, children etc on to the road. This has now become a big business affecting all citizens. (Congratulations Satish Shah, S. Kumar! You win `150 which you may collect from our office before Friday)
To curb encroachments on city roads, the GHMC must be strict while giving permissions. If any illegal building is constructed, the GHMC must demolish it immediately and cancel the permit for construction.
