MIDC and PWD Demolish Encroachments in Waluj
In Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, the MIDC and PWD worked together to remove illegal structures like tin sheds and shops in Waluj.
These structures were blocking the road and causing traffic problems.
The authorities gave the vendors two days to remove their own structures, but after that time, they started demolishing the remaining ones with the help of police.
Some people tried to stop the demolition, but the police kept everything calm.
The MIDC plans to put up fences to stop future encroachments.
MIDC and PWD conducted a joint demolition drive in Waluj to remove unauthorized structures.
Encroachments included tin sheds, shops, and kiosks that narrowed the road and caused traffic congestion.
Authorities granted a two-day extension for vendors to remove their structures before the demolition began.
Police ensured the demolition drive was completed peacefully despite some resistance.
MIDC plans to install safety fencing to prevent future encroachments.
