The Raipur Municipal Corporation (RMC) on Wednesday launched an intensive anti-encroachment drive in Babu Jagjivanram Ward of RMC Zone-4.
The RMC squad reached Shastri Bazaar and removed encroachment made by about 60 roadside vegetable vendors. The drive was launched to free the space meant for pedestrians. A police force accompanied the squad to avert any untoward incident during the drive. The squad seized iron-nets illegally erected by the vendors to encroach upon the open space. They also warned the vendors of strict action if found encroaching the space again.
Similarly, the squad removed encroachment erected by as many as 15 roadside vegetable vendors at Evergreen Chowk main road. The squad also seized the items kept on the road by the vendors, which were reportedly disturbing the traffic flow. Following the directives issued by RMC Commissioner, Avnish Kumar Sharan, the squad members drew yellow line in both the markets to ascertain the areas meant for the roadside vendors to erect their establishment in its limit.
RMC Zone-4 Commissioner, Vasudev Ram Chouhan led the squad comprised of RMC zone-4 City Investor, Yogendra Verma, RMC encroachment squad In-charge, Abhas Mishra and others.
