Chandigarh DC Orders Anti-Encroachment Drive on Dakshin Marg
The government is trying to make a road in Chandigarh better and safer.
But some people have built things on the road without permission, making it hard to fix the road.
The government is going to remove these illegal buildings and structures.
This is to widen the road and add things like bike paths and sidewalks.
The work was supposed to finish sooner, but the illegal structures are causing delays.
The government is working to solve these issues to ease traffic and make the road safer for everyone.
Chandigarh DC has ordered an anti-encroachment drive on Dakshin Marg.
The drive targets unauthorized encroachments on NH-05 from Hallomajra to the UT boundary.
Encroachments have stalled road upgrade work from Industrial Area Chowk to the Zirakpur border.
Approximately 6 acres of land is encroached upon by government and private entities.
Upgradation work includes widening carriageways, constructing cycle tracks, and pedestrian paths.
