A civic body is taking steps to clear obstacles that hinder pedestrian movement. The effort involves removing encroachments, unauthorised structures, and other barriers. This is part of a campaign to prioritise pedestrian access, particularly around high-traffic areas like transportation hubs, schools, and hospitals.

The civic body needs to replace vehicles used for hauling away discarded materials, as existing contracts have ended. New contracts will be awarded for a year, with an estimated cost of ₹10.25 crore.

Further details about the initiative and its implementation are available from the source. The campaign aims to reclaim footpaths and improve pedestrian access in targeted areas.
