16. It is a growing practice in urban areas that the traders and businessmen are frequently encroaching the Highways land and constructing the Commercial Buildings in violation of the Building Rules, more specifically, by not providing any space for parking as required under the Building Rules. Such illegal constructions and violations are causing greatest hindrance to the free flow of traffic in the Highways and further causing nuisance to the road users. Public roads are being occupied for the purpose of parking vehicles. Unguided and haphazard parking of vehicles are posing a threat to the road users. Further such illegal constructions and illegal parkings are the reasons for road accidents on many occasions. The Authorities are not initiating any action against such illegal constructions and violations in the Highways land. Thus, it is duty mandatory on the part of the Highways Authorities, Police Department, Revenue Department and other Government Departments to ensure that free flow of traffic is being maintained, illegal parkings are controlled by enforcing the law and all appropriate actions are initiated to evict the encroachers so also to demolish the illegal constructions in order to develop the Highways road and other areas for the benefit of the public at large and more-so, to avoid road accidents in such areas.
