India, Aug. 8 -- The enforcement wing of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) will start a major anti-encroachment drive from Monday to clear roads and green belts under its jurisdiction.

The move follows Supreme Court directions issued on Tuesday to the GMDA and other civic agencies to remove illegal encroachments and constructions in the city. A meeting chaired by GMDA CEO PC Meena on Thursday finalised a joint plan for the drive.

According to the GMDA, 12 teams, comprising 36 officials and staff members, have been formed. Each team will have three members, including junior engineers from GMDA enforcement, Infra-1 and Infra-2 divisions and the Municipal Corporation of Manesar.
