In view of the encroachment in front of New Delhi Railway Station, North Delhi Mayor Adesh Gupta has taken strong note of the problem and has directed Deputy Commissioner to take stern disciplinary action against the licensing inspector of the area.
Gupta said that although much intensive encroachment removal drives taken in the recent past to make ensure hassle free pedestrians movement but it has been noticed that they returned back and re-encroach the areas. “It is the duty of officials of the regarding zones to check such activities but due to ignorance and dereliction of duty of officials leads to chaos like situation,” he said.
“We all should fall in the line of duty and do our work to make the city more clean and green,” Gupta said.
During the inspection of areas such as New Delhi Railway Station and Paharganj, Mayor expressed unhappiness seeing encroachments on the roads. “Tehbazari holders had been occupying more than allotted 4' x 6' space, encroaching upon the public land, leaving less space for pedestrians,” a senior corporation official said.
