The municipal authorities of N’Djamena’s 7th district have initiated a major operation this Monday, May 25, to reclaim public road space along Taïwan Avenue. The move aims to dismantle unauthorized structures, restore orderly traffic flow, and enhance safety for pedestrians and motorists in this densely populated part of the capital.
Targeting illegal occupation and safety hazards
The operation, led by the district mayor, focuses on removing illegally placed stalls, encroaching shops, and stray animals that frequently obstruct traffic and contribute to road accidents. By clearing these obstructions, authorities seek to reduce congestion and prevent further loss of life on the roads.
Mayor calls for collective responsibility
In a public address, the mayor of the 7th district, Adoum Hassan Djimet, stressed the urgent need for community cooperation. He highlighted the daily risks posed by unregulated road usage, including fatal accidents caused by blocked pathways.
« The streets must remain accessible. I urge every resident in the 7th district to embrace this change. Every day, lives are lost because roads are illegally occupied. It’s time for everyone to take responsibility. »
Firm action against repeat offenders
The mayor issued a stern warning to those who continue to violate public space regulations. Violators face immediate penalties, including the confiscation of goods and impoundment of stray animals. The operation is part of a broader municipal effort to enforce urban cleanliness and safety standards across N’Djamena.
