The Lahore Development Authority has intensified its offensive against urban violations, demolishing infrastructure across six illegal housing schemes and sealing 43 non-compliant commercial properties.
Town planning teams have paired physical demolitions with strict digital monitoring and aggressive revenue-recovery targets to curb unauthorised construction across the city.
According to the LDA, operations were carried out under the supervision of the Chief Metropolitan Planner on Sundar-Raiwind Road and Multan Road.
Structures linked to six illegal schemes were demolished, including Mashallah Villas, Daman City, Maraka Marketing, Maraka Homes, Maraka City and New Lahore City. The demolition covered boundary walls, offices, roads and other structures.
The LDA Town Planning Wing also sealed 43 commercial properties along GT Road, Allama Iqbal Town and Gulberg. Ten properties were sealed in Allama Iqbal Town, 15 in Gulberg and 18 on GT Road.
The sealed properties included private schools, grocery stores, beauty salons, cafes, restaurants, food outlets, clinics, pharmacies, shops, showrooms and auto workshops.
The operation was supervised by Chief Town Planner-I Asad-uz-Zaman. The LDA said it is continuing decisive action against illegal housing schemes, illegal commercial buildings and properties with outstanding fee dues.
Meanwhile, LDA DG Tahir Farooq chaired a revenue generation meeting, where revenue targets for town planning and auctions were reviewed.
The meeting was told that sealing and de-sealing of properties is being monitored through digital tracking systems.
The DG directed the Director of Auction to speed up activities according to the auction calendar and stressed that the Tech Park on Ferozepur Road should be marketed promptly.
He also instructed the Director of Finance to regularly share updates on revenue progress.
