The Butwal Sub-metropolitan City has started organizing the market, clearing the road and removing vehicles that have been parked and parked haphazardly. After complaints that motorcycle and scooter reconditioning businesses were doing business on the road built for pedestrians, the municipality has started a campaign to clear the road and demolish encroached structures from Wednesday.
The sub-metropolitan city, which demolished houses encroaching on the road by using a dozer on Butwal's busiest road, Bhudki Chowk, on Wednesday, has also started removing vehicles parked on the road using a train from Thursday morning. The sub-metropolitan city had been informing the public through mikes for three days to remove businesses encroaching on the road and sidewalks. However, businessmen and homeowners had been adamant and the public had also been doing business by placing goods on the sidewalk.
After repeated requests, the mayor of Butwal Sub-metropolitan City, Khelraj Pandey, said that the dozer was forced to be used after it was not used and that this campaign will continue in all market areas of Butwal. ‘The practice of occupying the sidewalks of the road from the highway intersection to Golpark in Butwal and doing business has been developing,’ he said, ‘That is why we were forced to use the dozer without looking at anyone’s face.’
He said that the municipality had started the campaign with the aim of ensuring the right of everyone to walk safely on the sidewalk and to organize the Butwal market. He said that during the dozer operation, it was found that safety barriers had been constructed on the road within 82 feet of the East-West Highway.
Hospital Line, Bhudki Chowk, and Pushpalal Park were the most disturbed due to shops occupying the sidewalks and roadsides. Similarly, in the service lane section of the East-West Highway from Bus Park to Kalikanagar, vehicle movement and pedestrian movement of the general public were blocked due to reconditioning businessmen.
The municipality has started using dozers in all such places and taking control of the vehicles and taking them to the municipality, said Deputy Mayor Sabitra Acharya. Due to vegetable, fruit and clothing shops placed on carts and carts, even ambulances carrying patients were obstructed from entering the hospital. ‘That is why in the first phase, dozers were used in Hospital Line and Bhudki Chowk,’ she said, ‘The campaign continues on Thursday as well.’
Bhudki shops had been operating by occupying the road at Bhudki Chowk for years. In front of the sky bridge on Hospital Line, there were clothing shops, medical shops, photo and photocopying businesses, etc. The municipality demolished all those structures with the help of the municipal police and Nepal Police. Mayor Pandey, Deputy Mayor Acharya and most of the public representatives were present in the campaign.
