. The highways affected were the Delhi-Gurugram, Delhi-Jaipur, and Delhi-Agra highways, which are major transportation routes in India. The initiative was part of the government’s efforts to decongest the roads and ensure smooth traffic flow. The anti-encroachment drive was led by local authorities in coordination with law enforcement agencies. Several unauthorized structures, including shops, stalls, and parked vehicles, were removed during the operation. The move received positive feedback from commuters and residents as it helped reduce traffic jams and improve road safety. Such drives are crucial in metropolitan cities like Delhi to maintain order and discipline on the roads. The authorities have warned of strict action against any further encroachment on the highways. The success of the first day of the drive has set a precedent for future operations to clear up more space on the highways. This initiative is a step towards creating a more organized and efficient transportation system in the country. As such anti-encroachment drives continue, it is expected that traffic conditions will improve, benefiting the public at large.
