Statement:
Many shops in the local market have extended their shops and occupied most part of the footpath in front of their shops.
Course of action:
(1) The civic authority should immediately activate a task force to clear all the footpaths encroached by the shop owners.
(2) The civic authority should charge heavy penalty to the shop owners for occupying the footpath.
(3) The civic authority should set up a monitoring system so that such encroachments do not recur in future.
