Encroachments persist in Tinsukia despite eviction efforts
In Tinsukia town, people are setting up shops and stalls on roads and footpaths, which is not allowed.
The city government tried to remove these illegal structures, but the vendors got advance warning and moved their things before the officials arrived.
This keeps happening, and people think someone inside the city government is telling the vendors about the plans.
The blocked roads cause big traffic jams, making it hard for ambulances and school buses to pass.
Pedestrians, especially older people and children, have to walk on busy roads, which is dangerous.
Residents want the government to find out who is leaking the information and take strong action to keep the roads clear.
