Chandigarh, February 20:- In its continued efforts to ensure smooth traffic movement, public safety and encroachment-free roads, the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh today carried out a comprehensive anti-encroachment and enforcement drive in Manimajra, Sector-13.

During the drive, the enforcement teams took strict action against violations affecting road safety and pedestrian movement. A total of 7 illegally parked cars, found encroaching upon road berms and obstructing clear corridors, were impounded. In addition, tyres, jacks, rubbing machines and other repair-related equipment placed unauthorisedly on public land were seized and removed to restore the designated public spaces.

The drive also targeted illegal vending activities operating without permission. Unauthorised vendors were removed, and a total of 41 challans were issued to violators for encroachment, illegal parking and misuse of public spaces.

Such enforcement drives are being conducted regularly across the city to maintain urban order, improve traffic flow and safeguard pedestrian rights. The Municipal Corporation reiterated its appeal to residents, shopkeepers and vendors to adhere strictly to civic norms and avoid encroachments, failing which stringent action will continue.
