While the civic body removed encroachments along roadsides and confiscated the material, the traffic police issued challans against violators, especially those who had their vehicles along roadsides.

MC zonal commissioner (Zone A) Neeraj Jain said the civic body had received a number of complaints against the encroachments done by shopkeepers and street vendors, due to which traffic jams were being witnessed in these areas.

The drive was again conducted on Thursday to check resurfacing of encroachments.
