Intensified Action Against Illegal Constructions

In Jaipur, the administration has ramped up efforts to tackle encroachments and illegal constructions along New Sanganer Road. During the operation, over 50 structures, including parts of houses and shops, were demolished as they were deemed to violate road boundaries and established standards. The demolition included walls, railings, roofs, stairs, and other constructions. Officials indicated that further actions could be taken against additional identified constructions in the area.

Bulldozers Deployed on Over 50 Structures

The operation on New Sanganer Road involved the use of bulldozers and other machinery to remove several constructions. Additional parts of houses and shops, such as walls extending towards the road, stairs, railings, and roof sections, were dismantled.

Teams from the administration and relevant departments were present at the site during the operation. The campaign attracted a significant crowd, with many locals gathering to witness the actions being taken.

Preparation for Action on 210 Identified Constructions

Officials reported that approximately 210 constructions have been identified for potential action under the regulations. Currently, parts of over 50 constructions have been removed, and further phased actions are anticipated at the remaining identified sites.

The administration stated that the campaign to remove constructions beyond the designated limits in public areas and roads will continue, aiming to eliminate obstacles affecting road width and traffic flow.

Demolition of Various Structures

The operation not only targeted large constructions but also involved the removal of additional structures outside buildings. In some locations, stairs and railings extended towards the road, while in others, parts of walls and roofs were found to encroach upon the designated limits.

The teams from the administration acted on the previously identified structures, and debris was cleared using machinery.

Local Residents Express Discontent

During the bulldozer operations, some local residents raised objections, arguing that those affected should be given adequate time and alternative arrangements before demolitions occur. However, the administration maintained that the actions were being carried out in accordance with regulations and established procedures.

Discussions took place between the administration and local residents regarding the encroachments, with officials emphasizing the importance of adhering to the designated limits and regulations.

Focus on Improving Road and Traffic Management

New Sanganer Road is one of the major routes in Jaipur, experiencing significant traffic pressure. Complaints have been raised about the narrowing of roads due to additional constructions and encroachments. Therefore, the administration is focused on maintaining the road's width and enhancing traffic management.

The campaign is expected to continue, with attention on when and how actions will be taken on the remaining identified constructions.
