Agartala Aug 29: Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) Mayor Dipak Majumder accompanied by AMC Commissioner Sailesh Kumar Yadav, Officials of the Corporation and West District SP Traffic Manik Das, visited the IGM Chowmuhani area via the office lane from Abala Chowmuhani on Thursday.

During the visit, the Mayor issued orders to remove the illegally occupied shops along the road within the next 7 days.

Talking to the reporters, Majumder expressed serious concern about various shops who are doing business in the area by illegally extending the shop construction using tin shades on top of the cover drains.

Emphasizing the need to immediately demolish these structures, the Mayor said, “Despite having designated shops for business, they have extended the construction illegally on top of the cover drains. This is hindering the traffic movement and parking places in the area and any such illegal construction won’t be tolerated”.

He also added that those engaged in unauthorized trading and are not having proper licenses will also face removal.

The deadline for compliance is set at seven days, as the municipal authorities take action to ensure proper use of public spaces, adherence to regulations and lessen traffic congestion in the city roads.
