AP High Court Seeks Responses On Visakhapatnam Encroachment
Imagine there's a park, and along the road next to it, people are setting up shops that aren't supposed to be there.
A local politician is worried because these shops are making it hard for people to walk around, causing traffic jams, and possibly making people sick.
He's gone to the High Court to ask for help.
He wants the court to order the shops to be removed and to have people regularly check the area to make sure it doesn't happen again.
He's saying that these shops are breaking the law by making things unfair, stopping people from doing their jobs, and making it hard for people to live comfortably.
