Encroachers removed from Gole market Lucknow (PNS): District Magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma headed an anti-encroach- ment drive at Gole market in Mahanagar on Thursday. He was accompanied by SSP Kalanidhi Naithani and Municipal Commissioner Indramani Tripathi. A large number of encroachers were removed from the crossing. He said that the market crossing was wide because of which the traffic coming down the flyover faced problems. He issued directions for curtailing the width of the crossing so that commuters do not face problems and also ordered removal of two elec- tric poles. Locals com- plained about crowds at a liquor shop which the DM inspected. He found gross irregularities in terms of hygiene and heaps of plastic glasses inside the shop. The DM imposed a fine on the liquor shop owner and also asked him to mend ways within a week or else the shop would be seized. He directed PWD offi- cials to measure the encroached area and said similar exercise would be carried out at other places as well. LUCKNOW | FRIDAY | NOVEMBER 23, 2018 city 04
