Under the direction of the Deputy Commissioner Kargil, an encroachment removal drive was conducted on December 11 along the stretch from the BSNL Office Kargil to Goma Kargil. The initiative aimed to clear road obstructions to ensure smooth traffic flow and enhance public convenience.

The operation was jointly led by the Tehsildar Kargil, SHO Kargil, AEE R&B, Naib Tehsildar Kargil, Inspector Traffic, and officials of the Municipal Committee Kargil.

During the drive, various roadside encroachments—including water tanks, sand heaps, stones, construction materials, and other obstructing items—were identified and removed on the spot. The team also sensitized shopkeepers, residents, and construction workers about maintaining road discipline and ensuring that public spaces remain free from obstructions.

The Deputy Commissioner Kargil urged the public to cooperate in keeping roadways clear for the safety and convenience of all commuters. He further stated that such drives will continue and strict action will be taken against repeated violations.
