Encroachment eviction drive
The encroachment eviction drive launched by the Attur Municipality on
Friday ran into rough weather when a group of traders opposed the move.
Some people had put up temporary shops near the Pazhaya Santhaipettai
commercial complex behind the bus stand in Attur town. The Attur
municipality a few days ago directed the traders to remove all
encroachments. When the municipal officials attempted to remove the
encroachments on Friday, the traders opposed the move, leading to
tension. The police reached the spot and held discussion with the
traders. The municipality has given a few more days time to the traders
to vacate the site, following which they dispersed.
