An anti-encroachment squad of SMC arrived in Bemina and removed the encroachment. “People were complaining that vested interest elements have occupied the foot-paths and a vast space outside JVC Hospital, Haj House, and Childrens’ Hospital. Taking cognizance of these complaints, all these stalls were removed,” an official told news agency Kashmir News Trust.
He said the anti-encroachment drive will continue and nobody will be allowed to encroach the footpaths and space meant for the convenience of the general public. [KNT]
