The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) on Saturday carried out a special drive in South Delhi to remove temporary encroachments on footpaths, following numerous public complaints.
Led by the Deputy Commissioner of the South Zone, the drive cleared vendors and squatters that obstruct roads and footpaths along the stretch from the IIT Delhi gate to the National Institute of Health and Family Welfare, an official statement said.
The action was taken after receiving complaints about vendors and squatters hindering both vehicular and pedestrian movement in the area causing traffic jams and inconvenience to the public, the statement said.
