Shops eating up pavement!

This photo was taken in the last week of May 2012 which shows how the shops at Gulshan-2 area are grabbing the pavements and as a result the pedestrians are forced to walk on the main road choking the room for the vehicles which contributes to traffic jam. I wonder how this is happening at the VIP zone of the capital city where all the foreign missions have their offices. Who should we blame -- the police or the city corporation? Don't the chancery head of police as well as the city corporation of this part see this nuisance that is jeopardising our image at the hub of chancery? Is it very hard to seize all the stuff of these shops and give them exemplary punishment like huge monetary penalty or seven days' rigorous imprisonment? What is needed is a firm decision and its quick implementation. And that may give the pedestrians their pavement back and help ease traffic congestion.
