The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) sealed 96 properties and demolished several illegal structures across various areas of the provincial capital during an operation on Thursday. These actions were carried out under the directives of LDA Director General Tahir Farooq, as part of ongoing efforts to curb illegal constructions and enforce building regulations.
The operations targeted multiple localities, including Gulberg, New Garden Town, Faisal Town, Allama Iqbal Town, Shadman, and Gulshan Ravi. A total of 33 properties were sealed in Gulberg, New Garden Town, and Faisal Town, another 33 in Allama Iqbal Town, and 30 in Shadman and Gulshan Ravi. The sealed properties included private schools, offices, cafes, bakeries, restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, salons, and shops.
In addition to sealing properties, the LDA teams demolished several illegal constructions in Wapda Town, Defence Road, and College Road Township. Property owners had been issued multiple notices beforehand, providing them with opportunities to address violations before enforcement actions were taken.
The operation was conducted under the supervision of Chief Town Planner Asad-ul-Zaman and Chief Town Planner II Azhar Ali. DG LDA Tahir Farooq reiterated the authority’s commitment to upholding legal construction and development practices. “We will continue to take strict action against illegal commercial buildings, tax defaulters, and unauthorized constructions,” he stated.
