BMC lifts illegally parked vehicles
In an anti-encroachment drive spanning several areas in the state capital on Saturday, Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) teams lifted vehicles and removed illegal structures from roads, footpaths and public spaces to maintain public convenience and civic order.
The action, which followed complaints on the CM Helpline, saw the encroachment squads demolish illegally constructed staircases, walls, huts and sheds across several city areas. Two carts were also seized.
Under instructions from Commissioner Harendra Narayan, teams took action in Durga Nagar, 80 Feet Road, Ashoka Garden, Mata Mandir, Nehru Nagar Square, New Market no-vehicle zone and other locations.
The squads dismantled encroachments placed along 80 Feet Road, cleared about 40 illegally parked two-wheelers at New Market, and removed two unauthorised sheds in the Khajuri Kalan area during the operation.
In addition, a staircase built illegally behind Sadhu Vaswani School in Bairagarh, and two huts and a wall in Subhash Nagar, were demolished during Saturday’s drive.
Officials also cleared a large number of carts, stalls, sugarcane crushers and goods kept illegally outside shops. Two handcarts were seized as part of the enforcement action. Municipal staff warned violators not to re-encroach upon public spaces, cautioning that any future violations would invite even sterner action from the authorities.
