Gurugram, Nov. 11 -- The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has removed around 3,500 temporary encroachments from eight key roads since October 8, clearing nearly 90% of those identified, officials said on Tuesday. RS Bhath, GMDA's district town planner (enforcement), said an inspection on Monday found most stretches largely free of fresh obstructions, although encroachments had reappeared along the Sector 50-51 road. Officials have been directed to act against violators. The drive covers roads dividing sectors 30-31, 40-41, 46-47, 51-57, 50-51 and 32-39, besides Medanta Road and Sanath Road in Udyog Vihar. GMDA chief executive officer PC Meena said dedicated teams were patrolling cleared stretches to prevent repeat violations.

Nearly 50 personnel, supported by machinery, are deployed daily for enforcement, officials said. The authority is also developing footpaths and improving green belts to keep these areas unobstructed....
