END TO VIOLATIONS: A structure in Deshpande Nagar being brought down during the demolition drive which concluded in Hubli on Friday.
HUBLI: The third phase of the demolition drive to clear encroachments on Hubli roads concluded on Friday with about 5,000 illegal structures having been demolished in three days.
Barring a solitary incident of a corporation official being manhandled by an irate crowd near Ramesh Bhavan in Keshwapur, the drive passed off peacefully.
It was stated that the official was attacked by the crowd which suspected that he was demolishing more than what was necessary.
The local corporator and the Congress leader in the corporation Council, Yamanur Gudihal, intervened to defuse the situation.
Unlike the first two days, there was an appreciable reduction in the number of policemen deployed. However, Narayan Nadumani, Commissioner of Police, and his Deputy, Ravikante Gowda, were present with the corporation Commissioner, P. Manivannan, who was monitoring the work.
In the morning, encroachments on Niligen Road (KC Circle to Traffic Police Station), Swimming Pool to the railway under bridge via Cotton Market and Gujarat Bhavan, Rangamandir to the railway under bridge via Lokappana Hakkal, and Hosur to APMC Yard (National Highway 4) and the road from Unakal Cross to Sainagar were cleared.
And in the afternoon, encroachments on Club Road (KC Circle to Sarvodaya Circle), Keshwapur to the railway under bridge (via Hotel Woodland), Sarvodaya Circle to Ramesh Bhavan on Kusugal Road via Badaminagar, Shanthi Colony to Gopanakoppa (Sulla Road Cross to Gopanakoppa Bus Stand) and the road from Bhavani Nagar railway under bridge to Nrupatunga Betta were cleared.
