Encroachment and Swachh Bharat – Issues
1. Vegetable/fruit sellers make roadside encroachments and litter the area around them
2. Fast food sellers encroach the pavements and make it dirty
3. Workers sleep on/occupy the pavement and litter the surrounding area
4. Car/buses/trucks are parked overnight near the pavements on the road and as a result the areas are hardly cleaned
5. Slum dwellers create temporary tent houses on the footpaths
6. Many flower shops operate on the footpaths
7. Cigarette/Pan vendors set up small shops on bus stands/footpath etc.
8. Statues are kept under trees/on pavements to encroach
9. Many encroachments cause traffic jams and hence pollution
10. Small temples/shrines are built on roadsides or at times in the green divider space to encroach land which leads to littering on the road. more
