Encroachers evicted in Ooty
Efforts are on to find a lasting solution, says Commissioner.
In an operation described by many here as ‘better late
then never’ civic officials evicted encroachers from the boathouse road
here on Tuesday. With increasing congestion on the main roads,
particularly those leading to popular tourist spots like Ooty Lake
having become a major source of concern, road side encroachments had
been identified as one of the main contributory factors. However,
despite several complaints action against them had been conspicuous by
its absence.
