Permanent shops on footpath

the 2 km footpath on which we used to go for walk in last three years has been occupied gradually by about 37  shops as an encroachment  and  have made  near permanent  shops on it . the traffic inspector who stands near the square states that they are responsible for roads and not footpaths. the encroachment has compelled many of us to walk on the roads which has considerable morning rush traffic. is there any high court or supreme court ruling instructing keeping footpaths clear for pedestrians? complaining to corporation and police is of no use as they are party to it. which authority is to be invoked for seeking right s of footpath?

It is the duty of the city muncipality to remove the footpaths, but it wont because some of the municipality members shops will be there and these shops are voting banks.  Issue notice to the muncipality to remove those shops.  They wont reply and they wont take any action.  Then the remedy is to file a suit for mandatory injunction.
