Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar clears 245 encroachments from Delhi Gate to Harsul T Point in major road widening drive

Maharashtra In a significant move to boost road infrastructure Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Municipal Corporation has launched a major encroachment clearance drive along a 2.5 kilometre stretch from Delhi Gate to Harsul T Point. On Monday municipal teams took action against 245 properties clearing illegal structures as part of the city’s ongoing road widening campaign.

The drive began early in the morning near the Delhi Gate petrol pump with nearly 150 municipal workers and 100 police personnel deployed for the operation. Within 30 minutes several illegal structures were brought down including over 10 properties in the initial stage. The demolition team moved ahead toward multi storey buildings using JCB and poclain machines to bring down structures despite occasional resistance.

A particularly tense moment arose near a three storey gym whose owner had applied for regularisation under the Gunthewari scheme and submitted a ten lakh rupee cheque to the corporation. Despite this the gym’s front structure was heavily damaged during demolition. Four adjacent buildings were also partially cleared under similar circumstances.

Demolition activities extended to areas near Himayat Baugh and Maulana Azad College targeting shops salons tea stalls and hotels. Tin sheds across from Taj Hotel were removed. From Hudco Corner to Jatwada Road Corner smaller encroachments compound walls and kiosks were cleared to make way for broader roads.

Tuesday’s phase of the campaign will focus on the stretch between Harsul T Point and Vasantrao Naik Chowk near the Cidco bus stand. This part of the road is set to be widened to 60 meters. Several local business owners have already begun voluntarily dismantling unauthorised structures in anticipation of municipal action.

Police reinforcements are scheduled for deployment to manage the crowd and ensure smooth progress during Tuesday’s operations. The road widening initiative is expected to significantly ease congestion and improve traffic flow in one of the city’s busiest corridors.
