Majority of scrap dealers, Motor Cycle Machine working near Collage Road, Hatli More Chowk, and Parliwand near Foot Bridge, enjoying the patronage of municipality and other law enforcing authorities and are encroaching the city roads eating up their spaces for normal traffic. Locals from Hatli Morh Kathua, Rakesh Sharma, Kuldeep Singh, and Pawan alleged that we have sent several written complaints to the municipality but till date no one has taken action and cleared the roads encroached by scrap dealers. They also alleged that one of the scrap dealers' shop which is just at zero meters away from National Highway near Hatli Morh Chowk which has consumed good part of highway but no one from municipality's anti-encroachment squad dares to take any action as many of them are having hand in glove with such dealers.
