A bad time for the people who have illegally encroached areas in the city as the anti-encroachment drive carried out by the civic body – NMC is leaving no stone unturned to clear these spaces. The classic example was the illegally constructed bungalow of the infamous gangster Santosh Ambedkar of the city who had to lose her house. It turned big news when his illegal home was demolished in the presence of a huge police force in Itwari near the Gandhibagh area.

The drive started sharp at 11 am on 25th Feb when they found a notorious gangster Ambekar living in the Awadhut Mandir Road, Hamalpura was seen bringing it down on the road.
