"Encroachment is being cleared to ensure that Chandausi remains clean and accessible to all," she said.

"There will be challenges, and I too am facing difficulty as my shop, which my father used to run, is being dismantled by my own hands. But nothing is more important than following the rules of the government and serving the public interest," she added.

The lawmaker said there was no major drain near her shop, just a small one along the road.

"It is being cleared as part of this broader effort, and I am willing to endure this loss because what is happening to the public is also happening to me," she said.
