Islamabad, Oct 8: LDA Seals Properties for Illegal Commercial Use in Lahore
According to an LDA spokesperson, this ongoing operation is targeting businesses that either operate illegally or have failed to pay commercial fees.
The town planning wing led this latest action, focusing on Johar Town, Khayaban-e-Firdousi, and nearby areas. Among the sealed properties were well-known restaurants, showrooms, food outlets, bakeries, and cafes.
This operation was supervised by Chief Town Planner-II Azhar Ali and directed by Ali Nusrat, Director of Town Planning Zone IV.
Previously, the LDA had sealed dozens of illegal commercial properties in areas like Multan Road and Gulberg, including banks, travel offices, clinics, schools, pharmacies, and more.
In addition, under the leadership of DG Tahir Farooq, the LDA’s Enforcement Department, following directives from Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, launched a separate operation to remove illegal encroachments from markets such as Karim Market, Moon Market in Iqbal Town, and Scheme Mor.
Moreover, the public has been urged to report any instances of illegal commercial activities in their neighborhoods.
LDA has made it clear that it will take immediate action upon receiving credible complaints. Citizens are encouraged to play an active role in maintaining the city’s residential character by adhering to zoning laws and reporting any breaches.
