Authorities conducted a major drive to remove roadside encroachments and illegal stalls near the interstate bus stand at Patto, in compliance with directions from the High Court.
The operation was carried out in the presence of officials from the Corporation of the City of Panaji along with police personnel, ensuring that the clearance was executed smoothly and under supervision.

Officials stated that the action forms part of a broader initiative to address illegal encroachments in public spaces and maintain order around key transit points. They added that similar drives are likely to be undertaken in other areas in the coming days.
However, some vendors affected by the drive alleged that they were not given prior notice before the removal of their stalls, raising concerns over the manner in which the operation was carried out.
Authorities have yet to respond to these claims, while maintaining that enforcement actions will continue as per legal directives.
