Hatpipliya (Madhya Pradesh): Local vendors of Hatpipliya voluntarily removed encroachments alongside Newari-Bagli road on request of Nagar Panchayat president representative Arun Rathore. Individuals dismantled temporary encroachments like shops and kiosks even before the administration launched anti-encroachment drive.
While vendors willingly removed encroachments, concerns over permanent constructions by landlords and shopkeepers along the main city road still persist. The campaign faced criticism for slowing down near Bajrang intersection, allowing some to evade enforcement.
Meanwhile, traffic bottlenecks persist at key locations like bus stand, hotel vicinity, banks and various intersections, causing inconvenience to pedestrians and schoolchildren. Local suggestions included allocating spaces like Jyotiba Phule vegetable market for vendors and repurposing the new bus stand at Devgarh intersection.
According to officials, efforts are underway to allocate designated spaces for vendors, with the Jyotiba Phule vegetable market already provided by Nagar Panchayat. Further initiatives aim to streamline vendors' operations at the new bus stand in Devgarh intersection, potentially easing congestion and enhancing mobility in Hatpipliya.
