Lahore: The city administration has been ordered to clear Mall Road of illegal parking stands and encroachments as well as remove signboards and flexes installed in the area, a news source reported. Justice Ali Akbar Qureshi conducted proceedings on a petition seeking the removal of illegal parking stands.
The petitioner maintained that illegal parking stands led to traffic congestion and that the presence of such a large number of vehicles had become nuisance for the pedestrians.
Justice Qureshi remarked that all illegal parking stands and other illegal establishments be removed. He added that violators will be booked under the Anti-Terrorism Act, saying the court would not tolerate any kind of intervention in this regard.
He also directed authorities concerned to complete the renovation of existing buildings/structures and sought a report on the removal of banners/flexes and illegal parking stands/encroachments in the next hearing.
