The GHMC has taken up anti-encroachment drive especially on footpaths in the recent past. More than 6,000 streets have been freed from encroachments for the convenience of the pedestrians. The encroachers who set up shops after being removed, have been demolished again and with fines up to Rs 10,000 imposed on each shop.
