In a joint operation carried out by the estate wing of the Municipal Corporation and the traffic police, a number of encroachments were removed from the city on Saturday evening.
Employees of the estate wing led by Estate Officer Dharminderjeet Singh and traffic police personnel led by Kuldeep Kaur conducted an anti-encroachment drive on the Railway Road, Link Road, New Rialto Chowk, Cooper Road and Baba Atal Sahib Road near Darbar Sahib.
