LDA Demolishes Illegal Constructions in Lahore

The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) recently carried out a significant demolition operation in various areas of Lahore to tackle illegal constructions. Led by Director Town Planning Zone-Four Ali Nusrat under the guidance of Chief Town Planner Azhar Ali, the operation resulted in the removal of seven unauthorized structures. These structures, located in areas such as Defence Road, College Road, and Johar Town, included a commercial hall, shops, a workshop, and properties in UET Society. Additionally, ongoing constructions in F and K Block in Johar Town were partially demolished following prior notices issued to the properties.

The operation was executed with the collaboration of the LDA Enforcement Squad and the police. A meeting chaired by LDA Director General Tahir Farooq discussed the budget for the upcoming financial year, emphasizing the need for increased revenue generation across all LDA wings. Plans for auctioning LDA sites, development in LDA societies, and enhancing commercialization fees were deliberated upon to boost revenue streams. Director General Tahir Farooq specifically highlighted the importance of improving revenue in LDA Avenue One and LDA City, urging the Town Planning Wing to expedite recovery operations against defaulters of commercialization fees.

The LDA's proactive approach towards demolishing illegal constructions and enhancing revenue generation reflects its commitment to maintaining urban planning standards and financial sustainability. By cracking down on unauthorized structures and focusing on revenue enhancement strategies, the LDA aims to ensure orderly development and efficient resource utilization for the benefit of Lahore's residents and stakeholders.
