The civic body has been on a clean-up drive in the area since Friday. It cleared debris and ripped off seven temporary encroachments on the footpath between Tin Factory and Bhattarahalli signal along Old Madras Road.
It also cleared away black spots, including food waste and piles of coconut shells. Officials said the temporary encroachments included pushcarts, petty shops and eateries.
