The GHMC has made it clear that any new encroachments will not be tolerated. They have urged residents, shopkeepers, and vendors in the area to cooperate with authorities to maintain a clean and orderly environment. In addition, the civic body is working towards implementing measures that will prevent such encroachments in the future.
As part of the cleanup, GHMC officials are also planning to install signboards and conduct awareness campaigns to educate the public about the importance of keeping footpaths free from obstructions.
