Chandigarh, June 18

The Municipal Corporation, Chandigarh, has ordered a special drive to tackle the parking of vehicles at unauthorised places and removal of illegal hoardings and advertisements from city roads and markets.

Sharing the development, Municipal Commissioner KK Yadav said to ensure road safety, special teams of the enforcement wing had been formed to stop people from parking their vehicles at unauthorised places throughout the city.

He appealed to all city residents to park their vehicles at authorised lots to keep roadsides clear for uninterrupted movement of traffic.

While talking about the anti-defacement drive and illegal hoardings in the city, Yadav said the MC teams were removing illegal hoardings and advertisements, which distracted commuters. The MC teams have been asked to take action against violators with the help of the local police. “They have been told to lodge complaints with the police against those responsible for defacing public property,” added the Municipal Commissioner.
