Stop unauthorised activity on Sector 45-A road, Punjab and Haryana High Court tells MC

Chandigarh, September 21

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has directed the MC and the UT police to prevent continuation of unauthorised activity, such as vehicle repair and car parking, on the V-5 road of Sector 45-A.

The direction came on a petition filed in public interest by the Super Residents Welfare Association, Sector 45-A. They were seeking, among other things, the removal of all unauthorised activities from the V-5 road between AKSIP School to the traffic light point of Sector 33/45.

Taking up the matter, the Division Bench of Chief Justice Ravi Shanker Jha and Justice Arun Palli issued directions to take expeditious steps to ensure that no unauthorised activity continued.

The petitioners, through counsel HC Arora, had enclosed photographs of activities such as vehicle-repairing, junk dealing and car parking. It was claimed that the activity was blocking the vehicular movement on the road. Besides, such work created noise and environmental pollution. — TNS
