Thane's Municipal Commissioner Sanjeev Jaiswal has launched a three-day drive to get rid of encroachments on footpaths and bad roads in the city. Thane residents have been complaining about the issues for several months, with there having been over 63 accidents, including two deaths, due to bad roads in the past six months.

As per a notice issued by Jaiswal, if the issues are not resolved during the three-day drive, which is to start today and last until November 8, assistant municipal commissioners stand to face serious action.
