The drive was carried out under the guidance of Municipal Commissioner and Administrator Shekhar Singh, Additional Commissioner Pradeep Jambhale Patil, and City Engineer Makarand Nikam. It was led by Deputy Commissioner (Slum Rehabilitation Department) Anna Bodade and Assistant Commissioner (Headquarters Encroachment Department) Atul Patil.

Heavy machinery including four poclains, four JCBs, six dumpers, and 20 laborers were deployed to remove the structures.
The cleared area, stretching 200 meters in length and 18 meters in width, is located at Survey No. 124/1 in Kalakhadak, Wakad, adjacent to the slum rehabilitation project and extending up to Tathawade boundary.
“Strict action is being taken against unauthorized constructions that hinder development projects and public facilities. Encroachments obstructing the 18-meter road in Wakad-Tathawade have been removed, and work on the road will begin immediately. This will help ease traffic congestion in the area.”
