*MC Chandigarh conducts anti-encroachment drive in sector 34 Green Belt area*
*Chandigarh, June 4:-* In a proactive move to safeguard public spaces and maintain the aesthetic and ecological balance of the city, the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh today carried out an anti-encroachment drive in the green belt area opposite Sham Mall, Sector 34.
Following the directions of MC Commissioner Sh. Amit Kumar, IAS, the enforcement wing took strict action against illegal parking of cars, motorcycles, and scooters in the green belt — a space reserved for greenery and public recreation. Such unauthorized usage not only causes inconvenience to the public but also damages the environment and violates civic norms.
During the drive, the enforcement team issued 20 challans to violators including Cars: 7 challans and Motorcycles/Scooters: 13 challans.
The Commissioner emphasized that public green spaces are meant for environmental sustainability and community use, and their encroachment by vehicles or any illegal activity will not be tolerated.
This drive is part of MCC’s ongoing efforts to enforce discipline, promote responsible civic behavior, and ensure proper utilization of public land.
Commissioner Sh. Amit Kumar, IAS has directed all enforcement teams to regularly monitor such areas and take immediate action where violations are observed. He also appealed to citizens to support these efforts by parking only in designated areas and respecting public property.
The Municipal Corporation will continue to carry out such drives across the city in the coming weeks.
