Mijan Akanda, Phulpur: The Phulpur Upazila administration
has conducted a mobile court drive to remove illegal structures occupying
public roads and pedestrian spaces, as well as unauthorised posters displayed
on walls and utility poles.The drive was carried out on Sunday
along the busy stretch from Amuakanda Bridge intersection to the roundabout in
Phulpur Municipality, aiming to ease traffic congestion, ensure safe pedestrian
movement and restore order in public spaces. During the operation, illegally
displayed posters were removed from different roadside walls and poles. The
administration also demolished several unauthorised shops set up on the
bridge's footpath, which had been obstructing the movement of pedestrians. Assistant Commissioner (Land) and
Executive Magistrate Md Shafiqul Islam led the eviction drive. Local pedestrians and residents
welcomed the initiative, saying that illegal occupation of footpaths and
indiscriminate poster displays had long caused considerable inconvenience to
people using the busy road. They expressed hope that the
administration's timely intervention would reduce public suffering, ensure
smoother pedestrian movement and help restore the town's cleanliness,
discipline and aesthetic appeal.
The operation is seen as an important
step towards reclaiming public spaces and making the municipal area more
pedestrian-friendly.
