The team will conduct an inspection randomly next week and if required changes are not made by then, a sustained demolition drive will be carried out,” he said.
Earlier on Friday, the enforcement team visited Vyapar Kendra in Sushant Lok and took stock of the situation. The department had carried out an anti-encroachment drive in the market few days back in which a number of vends were removed. “The situation in this market has improved and we have told shopkeepers not to repeat the violations,” said Bhath
In the last one week, markets and malls in private colonies have come under the scanner of the department, as several complaints have been lodged by local residents regarding encroacments and other similar violations, said officials.
