BMC Demolishes Unauthorized Stalls Near Manish Market in Anti-Encroachment Drive
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) intensified its anti-encroachment drive under the 'Pedestrian First' campaign by demolishing 92 unauthorized stalls and a 750-square-foot godown near Manish Market, Sabu Siddique Road, and Musafirkhana in Mumbai's A ward. The operation targeted temporary and permanent illegal structures to restore pedestrian spaces and reduce congestion. The drive involved multiple BMC departments and was supported by a significant police presence to maintain order during the demolitions.
