Gurugram, May 17 -- The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) on Friday carried out a large-scale anti-encroachment drive in Sushant Lok, removing temporary structures, roadside sheds and illegally placed stalls that were obstructing footpaths and roads, officials said. The drive, carried out by the corporation's street vending enforcement team, was in response to complaints from residents regarding traffic congestion and illegal structures. According to MCG officials, the anti-encroachment drive focused on illegal vendors, makeshift tin sheds, and roadside kiosks that had encroached upon public spaces. Several temporary structures were dismantled, and goods belonging to encroachers were seized during the operation. The enforcement team acted swiftly to restore order and improve access to public thoroughfares in the locality, which is one of the city's prominent residential and commercial zones. MCG commissioner Pradeep Dahiya said that the civic body will maintain a zero-tolerance policy against encroachments that disrupt public movement and hinder civic infrastructure. "Encroachments on roads, footpaths, and green belts is not just illegal but a public safety concern. We will continue such drives regularly, and strict action will be taken against repeat offenders," he said. Officials added that the aim of the operation is to ensure smooth vehicular and pedestrian movement in key parts of the city. Encroachments in Sushant Lok had led to narrowing of roads and footpaths, forcing commuters to walk on roads, increasing risk of accidents. The MCG's enforcement team has warned vendors and other encroachers to refrain from reoccupying the cleared spaces, or they will face legal consequences, including heavy penalties and permanent confiscation of goods....
