LAHORE: In a significant move to enforce regulations and maintain urban order, the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) conducted a grand operation on Wednesday, sealing off 24 commercial properties across the city. This decisive action was led by Director Town Planning Four, Ali Nusrat, and Director Town Planning Three, Sidra Tabasim, under the directives of LDA DG Tahir Farooq. This operation targeted illegal commercial constructions and businesses that had defaulted on their commercial fees.
Details of the Operation
The operation focused on two main areas: Johar Town and Garden Town/Gulberg. The LDA’s Town Planning Zone Four team sealed 14 properties in Johar Town, while the Zone III team took action against 10 properties in Garden Town and Gulberg. The properties included a mix of showrooms, private schools, grocery stores, restaurants, private offices, and various other shops, illustrating a widespread issue with non-compliance regarding commercial fees.
Importance of Compliance
The Lahore Development Authority has stressed the importance of adhering to commercial regulations in order to support lawful business practices and to enhance the aesthetic and functional value of urban spaces. Before the operation, several notices were issued to the defaulters, highlighting the LDA’s commitment to ensuring that businesses operate within legal frameworks.
Implications for Property Owners
