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.

“Appropriate legal action was taken against violators and most of the encroachments were successfully cleared,” a senior police officer said.

In total, 65 challans were issued for encroachment-related violations, and four vehicles were towed under relevant sections of the law. PTI SSJ MPL MPL
