After meeting Dr. Ajay Pal, Additional Commissioner Law and Order, it was requested that police force be deployed for monitoring so that encroachment does not come back after removal by the Municipal Corporation.

The city dwellers have heaved a sigh of relief with this step and the public is happy. The markets are being harassed due to the online market and due to traffic jams in the city, the movement of customers is being affected due to traffic restrictions.
