Raigarh. Raigarh Municipal Corporation launched a special campaign in Sanjay Market area to make the city encroachment free, keep the traffic system smooth and remove obstacles in cleaning the drains.

Fine on 20 establishments, corporation’s action against rule breakers

Goods kept on the road become a hindrance in cleaning the drains.
According to the Municipal Corporation, keeping goods on public roads not only affects the movement of people but also hampers the regular cleaning of drains along the main roads. Officials say that timely cleaning of drains is very important during the rainy season. Due to encroachment on the roadside, sanitation workers face a lot of difficulty in doing their work, due to which the drainage system can also be affected.
Municipal Corporation Commissioner requested cooperation from traders
Municipal Corporation Commissioner Shri Brijesh Singh Kshatriya said that encroachment by keeping goods on the public road is a violation of the rules of the Municipal Corporation. This not only affects traffic but also disrupts cleanliness. He said that such campaigns will continue in the future to make the city clean, organized and accessible.
Appeal to remove encroachment and maintain cleanliness
The Commissioner appealed to all the traders to voluntarily remove the goods kept outside their establishments and cooperate in the campaign of the Municipal Corporation. He said that the city can be made clean, safe and orderly only with the cooperation of citizens and businessmen. The Municipal Corporation will continue to take strict action against those who violate the rules in future also.
