The Cyberabad Municipal Corporation removed 290 encroachments from roads, footpaths and public spaces across a 14.1 km stretch on August 7 as part of its weekly 'Walk Free' initiative. The drive covered three zones: Quthbullapur (150 encroachments), Kukatpally (55), and Serilingampally (where the two sources reported 84 and 85 encroachments respectively). The corporation said it will monitor the cleared stretches to prevent re-encroachment and ensure the reclaimed spaces remain available for public use.
