Task force soon to stop footpath re-encroachment in Bengaluru
BENGALURU: To prevent re-encroachment of footpaths that have already been cleared across the city, Greater Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda directed officials to constitute joint task forces comprising police and civic officials in each city corporation jurisdiction.
The task force will ensure continuous monitoring and undertake joint enforcement action against re-encroachment.
Addressing officials at a virtual meeting on Friday, which was convened to review the issue of footpath encroachments, the minister said instances of encroachment returning to the same locations after clearance must be treated seriously and repeat violators face stringent legal action.
