Dozens of illegally parked vehicles were issued challans and many temporary structures outside shops were demolished in the drive. Several kilometres of road were thus cleared of encroachment by the STF.
As part of the ongoing anti-encroachment drive, a number of areas under three different zones in Delhi were cleared of encroachment on Friday by the Supreme Court-appointed Special Task Force (STF). Some of the areas that came under Friday's drive were Green Park Extension and RK Puram Sector-4 in the South Zone, Aurobindo Marg and Lajpat Nagar Central Market in the Central Zone and Jail Road, Tilak Nagar in the West Zone.
Dozens of illegally parked vehicles were issued challans and many temporary structures outside shops were demolished in the drive. Several kilometres of road were thus cleared of encroachment by the STF.
The right of way (ROW) -- footpaths, roads and crossings -- were cleared of illegally parked vehicles, street vendors and temporary structures, said the officers.
"Many vendors had set up temporary structures where they were also living. A number of illegally parked vehicles were also seized," said the officers.
Encroachment was removed from both sides on the roads, including CR Park market and Savitri Cinema, said officers.
Action was also taken on NH-8 main road and Rangpuri Village, Mahipalpur from both sides of roads. "Encroachment of over 1,800 square feet of land was vacated at the border area," they added.
The STF had on Friday submitted an action taken report in the SC. The STF, which was created on the directions of the apex court on April 25, is now working under the Monitoring Committee tasked with sealing premises not in conformity with the Delhi Master Plan -2021.
