Gurugram, Nov 14 || Taking cognisance of the multiple complaints being received from citizens pertaining to rampant encroachment in the city, the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) and Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) are making joint efforts to address the issue.
DTP GMDA, R.S. Batth, along with the MCG officials over the last two days carried out inspection visits on the road from MG road to Saraswati Vihar, Saraswati Vihar market and the Khandsa road stretch from Bada Bazar to Khandsa Road and made public interactions to create awareness on removal of encroachment.
“We will first interact with the public at large and make them aware of the menace of encroachment and the need to clear these encroachments in public places. If they fail to comply, then strict action will be taken against the offenders,” said R.S. Baath.
During these visits, it was noticed that the corridor spaces are entirely encroached in Saraswati Vihar and many shopkeepers had extended areas of shops to restrict others from parking.
Moreover, a few residential properties on the road were also being used as commercial properties such as restaurants and eating joints and entire lanes were encroached upon.
