Ludhiana: A fortnight after serving shopkeepers notices for removing encroachments, the police have started cracking down on the violators. The cops, on Tuesday, also registered FIRs against the encroachers, most of whom were street vendors, a few were shopkeepers and some were those who parked their vehicles on roads. But there are some stretches where there has been no change.
Under the anti-encroachment drive, the Ludhiana Police aims to cover 100 roads. Even as Dugri Road from Atam Nagar Chowk to Dugri canal is on the list, there is hardly any change there. Dugri Road has a car market, which includes shops selling car accessories and car workshops. Even after 17 days of the drive, the police have failed to make even a small difference on the road, which witnesses traffic chaos every day.

Ludhiana: With just three days to go for New Year’s eve and no word from the government on lifting night curfew or change in timings, city hoteliers and other hospitality unit owners are now forced to organise afternoon parties, but have failed to draw a good response.
Besides, the partygoers are now trying offbeat destinations to celebrate the New Year. According to travel agents, due to expensive packages of hotels in Himachal Pradesh, residents are preferring resorts and camps at offbeat places at 50% cheaper rates. Moreover, there are no restrictions on celebrations within the properties, which is an added advantage.
