BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi today suggested that the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) should increase the penalty for encroachment in its areas.
"Fine amount in the challan should be increased and should be imposed on the spot by dedicated magistrates. Necessary changes in law should be made," she told NDMC officials during a meeting.
Lekhi, who is a member of NDMC by virtue of being an MP from New Delhi, said, "Encroachments are being setup directly in front of the existing authorized shop. These should be removed and separate areas may be earmarked for these encroachments. This is all the more necessary from the point of view of security as well as cleanliness.
