Mangalore, May 24: Civic Tiger, the Red Van introduced by Mangalore City Corporation (MCC) to clear encroachments on footpaths and roads, triggered its action yet again in the city on Tuesday May 24.
The truck and the personnel on it cleared encroachments on footpath and roads near Central Market. Mainly vegetable and fruits vendors posing problems for pedestrians walking through the footpath were evacuated. Though this operation was started from state bank terminal area, as earlier alleged the MCC sources itself leaked the matter to some vendors who turned wise and did not keep any items outside their shops.
Officers and police in three vans cleared the footpath at the central market area and ensured hassle-free traffic. A revenue inspector and health inspector from the city corporation guided the personnel on the eviction drive.
