Officials of the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation and the Bhubaneswar Development Authority carry out an eviction drive along Janpath on Tuesday.

The officials removed 19 illegal hoardings from Janpath that were erected on footpaths. 

They also evicted 21 street vendors who were encroaching upon cycle tracks and demolished two roadside thatched hotels and five wooden cabins that were obstructing traffic near Master Canteen Square. 

“We have removed some boards in front of Rama Devi Women’s University. This will help ensure better road safety while also providing space to pedestrians,” said BDA liaison officer Subhransu Mohanty.
