The MC officials, however, gave them two days to show documental
evidence to prove they have not encroached land. The team included
municipal town planner Raj Kumar, assistant town planner Kamaljeet Kaur,
duty magistrate Gagandeep Singh and a police party.

Many shops at the Gurh Mandi have been illegally built. As the situation heated up during the anti-encroachment drive,
the officials decided to give the protesting shopkeepers two days to
show relevant documents to prove that they had not encroached the area
around their shops.
