Municipality to launch drive against encroachments
The Puducherry Municipality will soon launch a drive
removing encroachments from any public place like pavements or public
streets and roads under the municipal limits.
A
release from S. Thammu Ganapathy, Commissioner of Puducherry
Municipality said the parking lots allocated for the benefit of vehicle
users at the busy traffic junctions in various parts of the town by the
Municipal Corporation have been encroached.
This
caused a lot of traffic snarls in the town. A section of people had also
set up shops in crowded streets and erected fences around them.
He said that 15 days time would be given to those who had encroached on municipal properties to remove them voluntarily.
Show cause notice
If
the warnings were not heeded the municipality would issue show cause
notices and initiate legal action against the encroachers.
