In a major anti-encroachment drive on Tuesday, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) cleared unauthorized stalls and structures from key market areas, including Mahal, Sitabuldi, Itwari, and Dharampeth, to restore public spaces.
Action Across Zones
Gandhibagh Zone: Officials targeted roads to Mahal Chowk, Gandhi Gate Chowk, Chitnis Park, Badkas Chowk, Ayachit Mandir, Zenda Chowk, and Kalyaneshwar Mandir, dismantling illegal stalls and shops. Two truckloads of material were seized.
Dharampeth Zone: The drive reached Sitabuldi, Variety Square, and Rahate Colony, where unauthorized constructions were removed, resulting in one truckload of material seized.
Other Areas: Encroachments near landmarks like the NMC Headquarters, VCA Stadium, and the District Collector’s Office were cleared, with three truckloads of materials seized from roads around West High Court Road, Hislop College, and other busy squares.
The NMC, in collaboration with the Traffic Department, aims to improve traffic flow and enhance pedestrian safety. Officials have indicated that these anti-encroachment efforts will continue in the coming weeks to maintain order and prevent future violations.
