Lahore Development Authority Seals Commercial Properties
The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has ramped up its recovery campaign, taking decisive action against defaulters by sealing seven commercial properties in Gulshan-e-Ravi for non-payment of commercial fees.
Led by TP Zone 1 Director Ayesha Mutahir, under the directive of LDA Director General Tahir Farooq, the operation targeted medical stores, grocery shops, private schools, and other businesses.
According to Ayesha Mutahir, these properties had accumulated substantial unpaid commercialization fees despite receiving multiple notices prior to the operation.
