MEDININAGAR – The Hussainabad Municipal Council conducted a major anti-encroachment drive along key roads, seizing goods and clearing illegal structures.

The municipal team targeted multiple locations across Hussainabad town. Under the leadership of SDO Krishnakant Kawadia, officials inspected the area. Moreover, Executive Officer T.K. Hans supervised the operations.

Meanwhile, the drive focused on the stretch from Thana Road to JP Chowk. The team also cleared encroachments near Ambedkar Chowk. In addition, several shopkeepers voluntarily removed their unauthorized extensions.

Impact on Vendors

The operation particularly affected small-scale vendors in the area. Furthermore, many cart operators faced penalties for unauthorized occupation. “We will continue our efforts to keep public spaces clear,” stated a municipal official.
