Sargodha: To keep land grabbers from encroaching the land that has just been made free, Sargodha Municipal Corporation has decided to fence the shops and footpaths, reported a news source. The related arrangements in this regard are being finalised.
Installing iron rods on the footpaths and before the shops will define the limits for shopkeepers and keep them within their specified bounds. According to sources within the Municipal Corporation, the shopkeepers will bear the cost for material and its installation. The purpose of this initiative is to keep the state land recently retrieved from the encroachers from being encroached again.
In this regard, an announcement will soon be made by Sargodha Mayor Malik Aslam Naveed. The results of such initiatives have proven very effective in various districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and it is expected that same practice will be applied in many more districts in Punjab.
