Mohali MC launches anti-encroachment drive; furniture stock, rehri goods seized

The drive extended to Sector 70, Sector 67 and adjoining residential belts, where the corporation seized illegal rehris, roadside stock and other encroachments. The operation began early in the morning and continued throughout the day.

Tehbazaari Superintendent Mandeep Singh said the crackdown is being carried out strictly under the directions of Municipal Commissioner Parminder Pal Singh. “Many people attempt to re-encroach even after being removed, but our teams are conducting continuous checks and taking action every day,” he said.

Singh added that the corporation’s top priority is to make all main roads from Phase 1 to Phase 11 encroachment-free, ensuring smooth traffic movement and restoring public spaces. Once major roads are cleared, similar action will be taken in markets, parking areas, footpaths and other public zones.

Municipal Corporation officials said the campaign will be intensified in the coming days. “Every possible step will be taken to make Mohali completely free of illegal encroachments,” they said.
