Illegal alcohol stalls and unauthorised transactions have long plagued Lake Chaumuhani Market, with allegations of land encroachment by unscrupulous traders. Mayor Deepak Majumdar inspected the site two to three times and later held a meeting with all market members, deciding to demolish the illegal shops.

The Mayor highlighted that illegal constructions and dumping of waste into ne...
