NMC and Police Jointly Crack Down on Traffic-Obstructing Encroachments in Dhantoli

The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) and the local Police Department recently executed a large-scale joint anti-encroachment drive in Dhantoli. Operating across the Dharampeth and Laxmi Nagar zones, authorities focused on clearing persistent road obstructions to ensure smooth traffic flow and unhindered access throughout the area.

The multi-agency campaign was directed by top leadership, including the NMC Commissioner, the Commissioner of Police, and the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic). Enforcement teams targeted illegal roadside structures, with a particular focus on the congested lanes surrounding local hospitals and healthcare centers. Official personnel confiscated significant quantities of obstructing materials to immediately open up blocked thoroughfares for emergency services and daily commuters.

Following the drive, the Municipal Corporation issued a public appeal advising residents, shopkeepers, vendors, and commercial establishment owners to refrain from occupying public roads or footpaths. Officials emphasized that public rights-of-way must remain clear to prevent ongoing traffic hazards and safety risks for pedestrians.

Civic authorities cautioned that strict monitoring will remain active, and any future illegal occupation of public spaces will result in immediate removal and asset confiscation. Furthermore, repeat offenders and responsible parties will face formal legal action, including police cases filed under relevant statutory provisions.

The NMC affirmed that these removal drives will continue regularly across Dhantoli to keep the neighborhood’s roads permanently free of illegal encroachments. The administration urges all citizens and local business owners to actively cooperate with municipal authorities to maintain clear, safe, and accessible public roads throughout the zone.
