Vizianagaram Municipal Corporation (VMC) has taken up a special drive to remove encroachments in different parts of the city including the Cantonment-KL Puram Road, Kuppili Street, Lankapatnam, VT Agraharam, Kothaagraharam, Salipeta and other places.
Around 250 unauthorised structures have been removed recently. VMC Commissioner S.S. Varma, Assistant City Planners Ch. Madusudana Rao and P. Ammaji Rao directed the ward secretariat staff to identify illegal structures and inform them for further action.
It was observed that many people have constructed houses, sheds and structures for car parking in several places. A few apartment dwellers occupied adjacent land between their apartment and roads under the guise of development of small parks.
