Apart from the shops, the civic team removed illegal extensions of shops, unauthorised signboards, and iron poles placed on roads for parking vehicles. Action was also taken against illegal hawkers operating in the area, officials said

The BMC has identified 20 high-footfall locations across Mumbai for strict action against unauthorised hawkers as part of a renewed anti-encroachment drive. The plan includes daily eviction operations with police support and the introduction of QR codes for licensed hawkers to improve monitoring and compliance
