Mohali Municipal Corporation to Resume Anti-Encroachment Drive from January 19

The Mohali Municipal Corporation will resume its anti-encroachment drive from January 19, following Punjab and Haryana High Court orders to remove illegal encroachments across residential, commercial, industrial areas, parks, and government land. Residents are urged to voluntarily clear encroachments to avoid demolition and expense recovery. The drive had paused for festivals and faced criticism over alleged selective enforcement. Officials have informed councillors to raise awareness, though differences emerged between the Mayor and Commissioner on the drive's timing and approach.
