The encroachments and illegal structures along the Taladanda Canal road from Ranihat to Matru Bhawan Chhak will be evicted during the drive. On the first day,  roadside shops along the Pilgrim Road and slums and temples between Ravenshaw University and Taladanda Canal are being demolished.

According to sources, three temples constructed on government plots were demolished amid protest from the local people. Some shop-keepers also demanded that they must be relocated before demolition of their shops.
