The Greater Kailash-2 Welfare Association initiated an encroachment removal drive 1.9.2013. The members of the association initiated a protest march from the M-Block market at about 9:00am today. The hawkers who were illegally occupying the footpaths, removed their encroachments on seeing the association march in peaceful protest. Soon many residents joined in the march.
The menace of illegal encroachment has been troubling the residents since long. The residents which includes elders, children and people of all age groups were compelled to walk on the main road despite heavy traffic as the footpaths were illegally encroached upon. This not only endangered the lives of the pedestrians, but also created a traffic snarl in the area.
Though, on seeing the march, the encroachers had removed themselves from the area, but this did not deter them to return back a few hours after the march wasover. The association has already taken up the matter with the local police who have ensured that they shall not let the encroachment continue.
The Association has done its part and now it is up to the Residents of GK2 to come forward to support in this ongoing drive for cleanliness and environment friendly ambiance.
