The encroachment of pavements and tendency to put up hoardings and signboards protruding beyond the building line was/is rampant in Mysore.
Temporary structures with cloth/tarpaulins are initially put up on the pretext of protection from the sun and rain and later converted overnight into permanent ones with concrete structures.
The local authorities in Mysore City launched a demolition drive to clear encroachments and illegal hoardings in the main commercial avenues of the city on Sunday, Oct 25, 2009.
