Madhubani Municipal Commissioner Launches Major Urban Cleanup Drive
In a decisive move to restore urban order and protect government revenue, Madhubani Municipal Commissioner Umesh Kumar Bharti has issued strict directives for the immediate removal of all illegal hoardings and the shutdown of unauthorized parking operations across the city.
24-Hour Ultimatum for Illegal Hoardings
Acting on instructions from a recent Urban Development and Housing Department (UDHD) review meeting, Commissioner Bharti on Thursday ordered the complete elimination of all unauthorized advertisements and hoardings within the Madhubani Municipal Corporation jurisdiction. He gave those responsible a firm 24-hour deadline to voluntarily remove these structures.
The commissioner warned that failure to comply would result in the corporation dismantling the hoardings itself and imposing substantial financial penalties on violators. This crackdown represents a significant escalation in the municipality's efforts to control visual pollution and reclaim public spaces from unauthorized commercial encroachments.
Targeting Unauthorized Parking Operations
In a parallel action, Bharti directed officials to immediately shut down all illegal parking operations that have been functioning without proper authorization. The commissioner described these activities as "mafia-like" practices that have caused substantial revenue losses to the municipal corporation and created disorder in the city's traffic management system.
"Any individual or group found involved in such practices will face severe legal consequences," Bharti emphasized during his announcement. He stressed that such unauthorized operations would no longer be tolerated under his administration.
Protecting Government Revenue and Urban Discipline
The commissioner framed these actions as crucial steps toward protecting government revenue streams and improving overall urban discipline in Madhubani. He instructed municipal officials to execute the cleanup drive without any leniency and to provide daily progress reports on both initiatives.
Bharti characterized this as a firm and decisive intervention aimed at establishing proper urban governance standards. The crackdown comes as part of broader efforts to implement recommendations from the UDHD review meeting and address long-standing issues of unauthorized commercial activities in public spaces.
The municipal corporation's actions signal a new approach to urban management in Madhubani, with officials now empowered to take immediate action against violations that compromise both city aesthetics and municipal finances.
