Million Pakistani people suffering in main city areas especially along the main walls of the Mayo hospital Lahore, including adjoining areas and shah Alam market
When action will be taken in Lahore city
Why are they demolishing these structures now? Logically, the moment the construction started, it should have been stopped. The need to carry an investigation as to who allowed the construction to be completed in the first place.
Millions of people suffer every day in Karachi due to roads encroached upon by thela wala , shopkeepers, chai walas, fast food shops and others but nothing is done to remove them as the authorities make bhatta in millions each day. When and who will remove them, there is no hope.
