"There are several kiosks, illegal constructions and unauthorised parking lots of auto-rickshaws on the other side of the border, which obstruct vehicles turning towards Ghaziabad from Road No. 56," a senior PWD engineer said.

Ghaziabad municipal commissioner Basant Lal said, "We have already removed the tempo stand and razed a police chowki built next to the road. We informed the district magistrate about a small temple which is built next to the road."
