New Delhi, Jun 5 (PTI) The Delhi Traffic Police carried out an encroachment removal drive, issuing 65 challans and towing four vehicles in a bid to ease congestion and improve pedestrian and vehicular movement, an official said on Thursday.
The drive was conducted on Wednesday around the Palika Bhawan stretch near RK Puram Sector-13, a zone that sees heavy commuter traffic during peak hours.
Senior officers recently observed severe traffic disruptions caused by illegally parked vehicles, including private cars, auto-rickshaws, taxis, e-rickshaws, and street vendors (rehri-patri), reducing the effective width of the road and hindering pedestrian access.
A strategic enforcement plan was developed following which the operation was carried out on June 4.
