Sir,
The efforts of authorities concerned in stopping encroachment of footpaths by roadside vendors is laudable. However, the menace at Vedanta Hemmige Circle on New Kantharaj Urs Road is becoming unbearable leading to accidents.
Almost 70 percent of the road is occupied by vehicles who stop to eat at roadside food stalls on the footpath. Pedestrians are forced to jay walk as the footpath is occupied with stools and benches of eateries.

Unless the roadside food and tea stalls are vacated and shifted to earmarked footpath next to Music Varsity compound wall near Ballal Circle, major accidents may occur and pedestrians may lose lives. Hopefully, a footpath encroachment drive is conducted on New Kantharaj Urs road.
