Noida, Feb 11 (PTI) A policeman was injured today when a mob pelted stones during an anti-encroachment drive by the Noida authority. Police said canes had to be used to control the mob. The encroachments had to be removed in industrial sectors 9 and 10 as these caused traffic jams, they said. Seven road side eateries and two dozen were demolished by the authority team, which also seized 15 truck loads of different materials. In view of the resistance from the public, Noida authority has decided to deploy PAC and additional force during such drives. PTI COR SMI
