Gurgaon: GMDA and MCG have issued a 72-hour notice for the removal of unauthorised carts and temporary structures from Sadar Bazar, following a joint inspection led by DTP RS Batth, to address persistent encroachment issues in one of the city's oldest markets.
Officials said on Monday that the GMDA enforcement team is also preparing a new crackdown on encroachments around Rajiv Chowk after a joint inspection with NHAI and police.
During a three-hour inspection across Sadar Bazar, officials advised shopkeepers to assist in keeping the area clean and accessible. Vendors were instructed to remove all unauthorised setups outside shops immediately.
Batth explained that in the first phase, authorities would work together to clear unauthorized vending carts and temporary structures from roads and footpaths, stressing that no one would be allowed to encroach on public spaces due to safety concerns.
"Encroachments block access for ambulances and fire brigades during emergencies," he added, noting that further action would be taken within 72 hours against violators.
According to officials, the market's lanes have become narrow and difficult to navigate because of these encroachments, creating problems for visitors and commuters.
To document the Sadar Bazar violations, the enforcement team used drone footage and videography and stated that continuous monitoring would follow. They also requested shopkeepers to stop allowing vendors to set up in front of their shops, emphasizing that these setups contributed to traffic congestion.
Unauthorised shelters, initially removed in July, had reappeared under the Rajiv Chowk flyover and in nearby areas, including Medicity Road and the pedestrian underpass. Officials said the renewed encroachments not only created a messy appearance but also caused traffic disruptions at one of the city's busiest intersections.
"We will take strict action, and under no circumstances will we allow anyone to occupy public spaces or market surroundings," Batth said, adding that warnings had been issued to occupants to vacate the area or face consequences.
Batth said the importance of preventing encroachment in such critical areas and noted that officials had personally met with the illegal occupants, advising them to vacate.
