Encroachments removed from Railway road

In the ongoing festive season, the traffic police initiated a special drive to make roads encroachment-free. On Wednesday, ACP (Traffic) Jatin Bansal along with the police force carried out a drive and removed encroachments from the railway road.

On Tuesday also, the ACP had carried out a drive in Chaura Bazaar and other old city markets where a meeting was also held with shopkeepers to keep roads free of encroachments.

On Wednesday, during the drive on the railway road, traffic police officials noticed shopkeepers encroaching the stretch by putting their goods outside. Encroachments were removed and shopkeepers were given strict warnings that they must comply with the directions of the traffic police. Some shopkeepers after noticing vehicles of the traffic police had themselves removed their items kept on the road.

“The traffic police will continue the anti-encroachment drive in the ongoing festive season and support of shopkeepers has also been sought for smooth traffic flow. Police personnel will continue patrolling on the road and if any shopkeeper will not budge, legal action will be taken against them as per law,” Bansal said.
