NEW DELHI: Buoyed by the Delhi High Court backed crackdown on traders encroaching public space in Defence Colony area, residents of nearby Jungpura Extension have sought similar relief from HC.
Justice G S Sistani on Tuesday allowed Jungpura RWA to become a party to the original contempt plea he is hearing, filed by the Defence Colony Flyover Association and asked the MCD along with DCP traffic to consider the complaint of the RWA.
In its petition seeking to become a party to the case, the Jungpura residents alleged that despite repeated representations to the police and other civic agencies like DDA/MCD, illegal parking of trucks, taxis and encroachment by shops continues. As per the petition, the main culprit causing traffic congestion in the locality is one 'Rama Tent House' whose business activities throughout the day and also in night trouble residents.
"The association is concerned with the smooth flow of traffic and wants to ensure that footpath for pedestrians around roads here remains available," the RWA says, informing HC that widespread encroachment of public spaces by shopkeepers, traders has led to traffic snarls.
