GURUGRAM: The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram has made up our minds to continue its anti-encroachment drives in business areas of the city, with Huda markets on its radar for now, following a identical power in Sadar Bazar on Friday.
As many as 79 shops had been sealed in that power.
According to MCG officials, they've already carried out a survey of encroachments in the major Huda markets and roads. The sealing power is prone to get started early next month. Shop homeowners will first be given warnings and asked to transparent those encroachments outside their shops, failing which they are going to face sealing and heavy fines.
“We have conducted the survey and notices usually are issued over the next week. Shop homeowners will probably be given a while to transparent the encroachments outside their shops. They can either transparent the encroachments or face motion in the form of sealing and heavy consequences,” mentioned Vivek Kalia, joint commissioner, MCG.
After the Sector 14 Huda market, the company is planning to carry out identical drives in Huda markets of sectors 21, 22, 23 and 32, in addition to Mahavir Chowk, the realm around Gurugram bus stand and Old Delhi-Gurugram highway.
All those areas are lately closely encroached upon, inflicting no longer simply inconvenience to pedestrians, but in addition traffic jams and congestions. For example, at Gurugram bus stand, hawkers and vendors who have eaten up parts of the road, cause traffic to slow down, ensuing in the house suffering from traffic jams nearly all the time.
Sources mentioned hawkers and shopkeepers have an arrangement in most business areas, during which the hawkers pay the latter a hire for putting up stalls and carts outside their shops.
“While a couple of stalls are assigned by way of the company, many of the hawkers simply camp outside shops, and landlords take a sizeable hire from them,” mentioned a source.
On Friday, an MCG workforce led by way of joint commissioner Kalia sealed 79 shops in the presence of 30-40 police workforce, together with girls constables, in Sadar Bazar, between 7am and 9am. At that time, many of the shopkeepers hadn’t even opened their shops. Later in the day, many shopkeepers gave an undertaking to MCG that they're going to no longer permit any encroachments in entrance in their shops, following which their seals had been removed. Additionally, the shopkeepers had been asked to furnish a refundable safety deposit of Rs 25,000.
The factor of encroachment in business areas, especially in Sadar Bazar — mayor Madhu Azad’s constituency — has been raised in House conferences a number of instances. It was made up our minds in the remaining assembly that strict motion will probably be taken in opposition to all shopkeepers engaged in or allowing encroachment. However, resources mentioned shopkeepers have a powerful foyer and political connections inside the executive, implying it continues to be noticed how long MCG can sustain their power.
