According to the latest reports, 11 more commercial premises have been sealed during the operation.
The Commissioner has been actively monitoring the progress of the operation, which has been carried out to clear the city of illegal structures and encroachments.
The operation has been met with mixed reactions from the public, with some lauding the authorities’ efforts to reclaim public spaces.
In contrast, others have expressed concerns over the impact on businesses and livelihoods.
Despite the challenges, Commissioner Randhawa remains steadfast in his commitment to continue the operation and ensure that the city remains free from encroachments.
Although the policy is commendable, how does the situation arise in the first place? Someone in the appropriate department is obviously not doing his job. How is a high rise building able to get to such a height before being told it’s illegal? I think we all know what’s going on. This needs to be addressed from within LDA itself
Agreed. Us waqt ye commissioner soya hua tha when these plaza were approved. If u want to finish crimes in town first of all cut the roots.
Yes.
The corrupt officials who approved initially also should be taken to task.
Exactly.
Our anti encroachment operations are just probably to increase the already decided amount. And I have my seen the very same encroachment erected again the very next day.
If these operations were meant to be genuine, how come would that happen?
The people who are responsible for the prevention of these must first be tried. Only then these will not be there in future
Encroachments in the name of food street n stalls on footpaths in every area of Lahore should be removed
