The order outlines a three-tier penalty system for violations:

- Recommendation for vehicle seizure through ARTO Kupwara for the third violation.
Additionally, shopkeepers encroaching on footpaths will face a fine of Rs 900 as per the Municipal Act 2000, with repeated violations resulting in the seizure of the shop.
