On several occasions, the authorities removed encroachment, enforced rules but the action was not followed strictly. The shopkeepers had to knock on the court’s doors. The case is still pending in the High Court.

“We will strictly implement the parking guidelines here at Sitabuldi main road. Already 11 such roads for on street parking have been identified and notification has taken out. People are facing a lot of problems and we will surely resolve the issues for which measures are being taken,” assured Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Archit Chandak.
