The Cyberabad Municipal Corporation launched the Clean and Clear Footpaths drive on Saturday, August 22, to remove encroachments within its limits. The action targets vendors and unauthorised sheds occupying footpaths.

The corporation said the drive aims to restore safe pedestrian access, reduce accidents and hazards, and make streets cleaner and more attractive. Images shared by the CMC showed a footpath crowded with sheds and pushcarts before the action and cleared afterwards. The drive will continue across CMC limits, with pedestrian safety and access as its stated focus.
The immediate test will be whether cleared stretches remain accessible after enforcement teams move on. Sustained results usually require regular inspections, clear marking of pedestrian space and a consistent process for handling repeat encroachments. Vendors and small businesses operating on footpaths may also face disruption, making the corporation’s enforcement and rehabilitation choices important. Residents should watch for the next locations covered and whether the CMC publishes details of follow-up action.
