“An anti-encroachment drive was today (Wednesday) conducted by the Srinagar development authority(SDA) to remove the illegal occupation that had come up outside the newly established children Hospital in Bemina”, reads a statement issued from the office of Deputy Director Enforcement
Srinagar Development Authority, as per local news agency GNS.

“During the drive, all the shanties were removed to restore the pristine view along the national highway at Bemina and prevent any untoward incident.”
