Hazards of Encroachments in Chandigarh

Some people rightly feel that the Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh has failed to protect its prime land from encroachers across the city. According to them, a large number of areas have been encroached upon by land-grabbers in parks, city roads & other areas meant for public & a majority of these encroachments are made at behest  of well-connected persons.
                                                                        Certainly,(according to some citizens) Councillors can play an active role in changing the face of this city, which is plagued with a dearth of open spaces so-called encroachments by requesting the concerned resident of their respective area, to get their mess cleaned up, even if it means, hiring an extra labor. Some worthy citizens have rightly given the example of Nehru Park, Sector-22, Chandigarh, which is one of the best- maintained gardens of the city & this has happened only with the efforts of the Area Councillor.
                                                           Its my personal opinion, a meeting should be arranged between the MC officials & the shopkeepers. The shopkeepers should be made aware of the severe accidents, which can occur, due to these encroachments.They should be informed that commuters are going to suffer without any fault of theirs. If all these efforts are going waste, then these market owners should be heavily fined.
