Government to intensify drive against abandoned vehicles, footpath encroachments in Bengaluru

Bengaluru minister directed officials to prepare action plans for vehicle removal. Footpath encroachments are being cleared to improve pedestrian access and ease congestion. Abandoned vehicles will be towed and auctioned after a 15-day unclaimed period. Police and city corporations will coordinate efforts and monitor field staff closely. Footpath repairs will proceed alongside encroachment removal and penalty imposition.
