Siliguri, 21st November: A crowd gathering at a food stall in the lane adjacent to the Siliguri Municipal Corporation has been causing significant disruptions to road movement.
The congestion, reportedly aggravated by disorganized parking near the stall, is creating difficulties for commuters and students from nearby institutions, including Siliguri Girls High School and Siliguri College.
On Thursday, Mayor Gautam Deb noticed the encroachments while en route to the Municipal Corporation office. He immediately visited the site with officials to assess the situation.
Addressing the issue, Mayor Deb stated that an important road had been encroached upon, with customers of the food stall leaving their bikes and scooters parked irresponsibly, leading to traffic jams. The Mayor announced that notice would be issued to ensure the road is cleared of such encroachments.
