Encroachments on Gill Road: Association complains to Ludhiana MC

Ludhiana, December 21

The Environmental and Welfare Association of New Janta Nagar and Shimla Puri has complained to the Municipal Corporation against temporary encroachments on Gill Road here.

Complainant Sher Singh, president of the association, alleged that the berms on both sides of Gill Road had been encroached by shopkeepers, juice bars and cart owners, causing obstructions in the traffic movement. Giving an example, he said a shopkeeper despite having two shops was often seen selling vegetables from a vehicle stationed by the roadside outside the shops. It seems that the MC’s tehbazari branch had ignored these encroachments, causing inconvenience to pedestrians and commuters.

He demanded from the MC to take steps to direct the shopkeepers to keep their material inside. — TNS
