Seven years of encroachments remain intact in Nakodar.
NAKODAR
More than seven years have passed since the Nakodar market shifted the vegetable market to the new grain after de-notifying it. However, vegetable commission agents and sellers continue to encroach on municipal roads. Residents complained that it had become a nuisance as shopkeepers’ dumped garbage in front of the main post office apart from hindering traffic. They said that the increasing stink from the garbage was troubling commuters also. Residents claimed that the encroachment issue had been brought to the notice of the executive officer of the municipal committee and the sub-divisional magistrate (SDM), but to no avail. NC sources said that the civic body is under political pressure not to take any action to remove encroachments as some politicians are involved in the issue.Seven years of encroachments remain intact in Nakodar.
