Bareilly Authorities Demolish Over 100 Roadside Structures in Anti-Encroachment Drive

In a major crackdown on illegal constructions, the Bareilly Cantonment authorities, backed by a strong police presence, demolished over 100 roadside "temporary structures" on October 30, 2025. According to officials, these structures were built illegally on government land, causing severe traffic congestion in the area.

This renewed anti-encroachment drive, which has resumed after a pause, aims to clear a total of over 500 identified encroachments, including huts and shops, in order to ease the commuting difficulties faced by the local residents. The authorities are determined to reclaim the public spaces and ensure smooth traffic flow in the region.

The demolition of these unauthorized structures is part of a larger effort by the Bareilly administration to address the issue of illegal constructions and encroachments, which have been a persistent problem in the area. By taking decisive action, the authorities hope to provide relief to the commuters and restore the intended use of the public spaces.
