Summary:
When pointed about the scrapyard owner’s impunity, the councillor said, “I do not know if the scrapyard owner has support from anyone.” “I was responsible for building the pavement even when the scrapyard owner was objecting to it. He told TOI that he does not have powers of an MLA to force the scrapyard to clear out from the pavement. The scrapyard owner has even encroached on the pavement and uses this space to store all kinds of wooden furniture items, including doors and windows as well as metal grilles and frames. I had also complained to the PWD as it is their duty to clear it,” he said..
