The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) in its continuous anti-encroachment drive on Monday demolished 50 more platforms. These platforms had been constructed in the front line of showrooms and offices, in contravention of building regulations, along Moulana Shoukat Ali Road, Johar Town, in front of Jinnah Hospital and on Main Boulevard Faisal Town.
According to a LDA spokesman, its staff also removed scores of other infringement during the jointly carried out operation, which was participated by the officials of the Estate Management Directorate and Town Planning Wing of The LDA as well as representatives from Water and Sanitation Agency.
All these encroachments were causing impediments in movement by the pedestrians, flow of traffic as well as quick disposal of storm water from the market. The LDA has urged residents of its schemes' area to voluntarily eliminate their encroachments without further delay.
