The utility authorities, companies and organisations, like Lahore Electric Supply Company (Lesco) and Water and Sanitation Agency (Wasa), have almost no access to the Zaman Park for performing their duties and rectifying the complaints as the workers of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), including ‘Tiger Force’ members, guarding Imran Khan create hurdles for them or send them back.
The situation is worsening fast as the workers staying in the camps are not only allegedly littering the area but also stealing electricity and choking the sewer lines connected with the main lines of the Water and Sanitation Agency (Wasa) for the last many days.
In recent days, some officials refused to go inside Zaman Park due to the bad behaviour of the PTI workers, Dawn has learnt.
“We are in great trouble these days as our workers are stopped by the PTI workers at the main entrance. Resultantly, they either come back to the office or take other difficult routes to enter Zaman Park in case of any complaint. The workers also stop our vehicles (suction machines/dewatering pumps etc).
