Mangaluru, Jul 29: Unauthorised petty shops along Mannagudda Road near Ladyhill Circle and KPT on Airport Road were vacated by the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) during ‘Operation Tiger’ on Monday July 29.
Around 25 to 30 petty shops near Ladyhill Circle were cleared. Four individuals who obstructed the operation were taken into custody by the police. The cleared shops included those selling tender coconut, fast food, pani puri, and omelettes.
Deputy commissioner of MCC Rekha Shetty, health officer Dr Manjaiah Shetty, and revenue department officials participated in the operation.
Barke and Kadri police station personnel provided security.
It may be recalled, mayor Sudheer Shetty Kannur had announced earlier that due to increasing complaints about street hawkers and street food, causing difficulties for pedestrians and raising health concern, the ‘Operation Tiger’ will resume on July 29.
