Contrary to the policy of the Punjab government and strict direction from the country’s Superior Courts, the city managers have turned a blind eye to the ever-increasing encroachments in the city. All major markets and city bazaars are developing with encroachments and traffic congestion each day.
The areas of Raja Bazaar, Narankari Bazaar, Barra Bazaar, Dalgaran Bazaar, Mochi Bazaar, Namak Mandi Bazaar, Lal Haveli Bazaar, Sarafa Bazaar, Moti Bazaar, Iqbal Road, Commercial Market, Sadiqabad Bazaar, Muslim Town Bazaar, Khayaban Sir Syed Bazaar, Adiala Road Bazaars, and several other localities were bursting with encroachment.
