Drive to remove encroachments to resume in city tomorrow

Mangaluru City Corporation and the police will jointly re-launch the drive to remove encroachments from pavements in the city on Thursday, Mayor Divakar said here on Tuesday. Chairing a meeting with councillors and police on traffic issues, Mr. Divakar said that teams have been formed for the city and for Surathkal to remove the encroachments. “Street vendors cannot operate on the footpath, which is meant for pedestrians to move freely,” Mr. Divakar said and added that he or other councillors will not interfere when the encroachments are removed.
