They appealed the different market associations as well as general public not to park their vehicles on roads to avoid traffic congestions and inconvenience to the general public as well.
They assured the public that they will make a traffic movement plan of these markets and some areas will be declared as ‘No Parking Zones’ and some roads will also be designated as ‘One Way Traffic’.
They once again appealed the shopkeepers to keep their goods inside their establishments and do not cover drains/pathways which is a main cause of choking of drains resulting into insanitary conditions and causing inconvenience to the residents of the areas which they are complaining time and again.
The officials further warned the shopkeepers of these areas that if they fail to remove the encroachments made by them then in that case action under J&K Municipal Corporation Act shall be taken against the defaulters.
