The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has stepped up its efforts in the recovery campaign by sealing seven commercial properties in Gulshan-e-Ravi for their failure to pay commercial fees.
Directed by LDA Director General Tahir Farooq, the operation was conducted by TP Zone 1 Director Ayesha Mutahir. It targeted medical stores, grocery shops, private schools, and various other businesses. Mutahir emphasized that these properties had accumulated significant unpaid commercialization fees despite receiving multiple prior notices. She affirmed that actions against defaulters and illegal constructions would continue across the city without discrimination.
In a related meeting focused on LDA’s resource generation, DG Tahir Farooq assessed the performance of directors from the Town Planning Wing. Reports specific to different areas were presented by Chief Town Planners One and Two.
Farooq emphasized the importance of achieving recovery targets before the end of the fiscal year and urged teams to work diligently towards this objective on a daily basis. He also emphasized the need for consistent action against illegal commercial activities and requested daily performance reports from the chief town planners. Revenue targets for metropolitan planning, LDA City, and land sales were discussed during the meeting. Farooq instructed the auction director to prepare the calendar for the next fiscal year.
Senior LDA officials, including Chief Town Planner One Asad Zaman, Chief Town Planner Two Azhar Ali, Chief Metropolitan Planning Faisal Qureshi, Director Finance Kashif Imran, and Director Auction Ali bin Sahil, were present at the meeting.
