Lahore: The Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Lahore administration – in a bid to support restaurant/coffee shop businesses in the ongoing pandemic situation – has decided to allow rooftop sitting at commercial plazas of properties sized 8 marla and above, as per a post published on society’s official Facebook page on December 24.
Previously, in March 2020, along with the rest of the country, DHA Lahore had shut down its offices and public spaces in an attempt to restrict public movement for coronavirus prevention. The offices resumed their usual functioning later in the year, however, the authority was strict about adherence to the standard operating procedures (SOPs) to contain the spread of the global pandemic.
With this move to allow businesses to establish rooftop sitting, the DHA administration seems to mitigate the adverse impact suffered by the hospitality industry – which is laudable.
Moreover, DHA Lahore has also announced the opening of a sub office at Jacranda Family Club in the housing project’s Islamabad chapter to further facilitate existing and potential members.
