A major encroachment removal drive was carried out at Jogeshwari Station on Friday, resulting in the clearance of 28 soft encroachments. The operation, deemed crucial for the ongoing construction of the new coaching terminal, faced challenges as city police failed to turn up despite repeated requests.

The drive was executed with the support of 51 Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel and 8 Government Railway Police (GRP) staff, who ensured the demolition process proceeded smoothly. Authorities emphasised the necessity of clearing unauthorized structures to facilitate infrastructure development in the area.
