AGARTALA: Taking a strict stance against municipal law violations and urban waterlogging, the Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) conducted a eviction drive on Thursday, demolishing illegal structures constructed over drains within the Agartala Court complex premises.
The anti-encroachment drive targeted unauthorized concrete and tin structures that had been re-erected over vital drainage pathways despite prior warnings. AMC officials, accompanied by security personnel, deployed heavy machinery to clear the blockages and ensure the smooth flow of rainwater in the area.
Key Highlights of the Eviction Drive
- Zero Tolerance on Encroachment: AMC authorities emphasized that re-building structures over municipal drains directly aggravates waterlogging issues in the surrounding court area, causing significant inconvenience to litigants, lawyers, and public visitors.
- Strict Action Undertaken: Municipal workers swiftly removed the newly constructed obstacles, restoring the original width of the drainage system to facilitate routine cleaning and maintenance.
- Warning Issued: Corporation officials served a stern warning to local vendors and individuals against re-occupying public drains or government land, stating that persistent violators will face legal proceedings and heavy fines.
Local citizens and visitors at the court premises welcomed the prompt action by the municipal authorities, noting that keeping key drainage routes clear is essential for preventing flooding during heavy monsoon rains.
