Indirapuram Faces Persistent Encroachment and Parking Issues
Imagine a town where it's hard to walk or drive because of parked cars and shops on the sidewalks.
That's what's happening in Indirapuram, seven months after the local government took over.
People can't walk safely because of the problems with damaged drains and parked cars.
Officials are trying to fix things, but the problems are still there.
They're trying to get rid of the shops that block the roads and making a list of the shop owners.
The goal is to make the town easier and safer for everyone to get around.
Encroachments and illegal parking continue to plague Indirapuram.
Damaged sewer lines are a persistent issue.
Haphazard parking reduces traffic to a single lane in many areas.
Anti-encroachment drives have not solved the problems.
A database of roadside shopkeepers is being prepared.
