PATNA: Despite regular eviction drive conducted by the district administration along with Patna Municipal Corporation (PMC), most of the major city roads and commercial areas remain choked because of encroachments on both sides.
All the roads connecting Ashok Rajpath to Bari Path have encroachments either by the vendors or illegal parking of vehicles. Even temporary shops have come up outside Khetan market, on Bari Path, Boring Road and Bailey Road. "Forget four-wheeler, travelling by a two-wheeler is difficult in my area," said Raju Kumar, who lives near Khetan Market. "As this area is a commercial hub, many people park their vehicles on the road, further escalating the problem. Crossing Sabzibagh till Khetan Market is nothing less than climbing the mountain."
