Summary:
The remaining street vendors have not been removed despite the claims by the DC office that the problem of encroachment and constant traffic snarls would be dealt with at the earliest. When contacted, Sub-divisional Magistrate (SDM) Ravinder Singh Arora said the encroachments would be removed with mutual consent soon. “We have written to the Municipal Corporation to remove the encroaching vendors as it is their work,” he added. “The department will remove the encroachments through mutual consent. Earlier as well, during one such anti-encroachment drive, the officers were attacked,” an official said..
