Supreme Court Orders Centre to Ensure Encroachment-Free Pedestrian Paths
The Supreme Court has directed the Centre to ensure that every road has encroachment-free space for walking. The court emphasized the need to demarcate footpaths to provide walkers with clear, unobstructed areas. This directive was issued to authorities responsible for road infrastructure. One outlet noted the BMC has launched a 'Pedestrian First' drive to clear encroachments from 320 km of footpaths.
