Siliguri, 22nd January: The Siliguri Municipal Corporation (SMC) has relaunched its campaign against encroachment in Champasari Nivedita Market. On Wednesday, the authorities conducted a drive to address forceful encroachments in the area.
According to reports, shops in the Champasari Nivedita vegetable market were reopened by occupying a high-drain and covering it with a concrete slab. Acting on the information, the Municipal Corporation, along with a large police contingent, took immediate action against the illegal encroachments. A JCB machine was used to break and clear the concrete slab built over the high-drain.
SMC has reiterated its commitment to the ongoing anti-encroachment campaign in the city. Authorities have also warned that strict action will be taken against anyone who forcibly encroaches and sets up shops in violation of the rules.
