New Delhi: The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) inspected Anand Vihar Railway Station, the Metro station and the inter-state bus terminal (ISBT) amid the festive rush. The East Zone team reviewed sanitation, parking and encroachments across the three facilities, the civic body said on November 13.
The MCD said the inspection was conducted under the guidance of the East Zone deputy commissioner. Officials were directed to act against unauthorised vending and encroachments and to monitor the area regularly.
The corporation also called for coordination with Delhi Traffic Police, the Transport Department and other agencies to manage traffic and help passengers move between the terminals. The East Delhi hub brings together railway and interstate bus services and the Blue and Pink Metro lines.
Vending at the ISBT has also been the subject of a separate Delhi High Court proceeding. In May, the court directed that vending at the bus terminal be restricted to those holding valid certificates and asked the MCD to file a status report. The corporation’s November update reported the inspection and directions to officials. It gave no figures on removals.
