Deputy Commissioner Raza emphasized a zero-tolerance policy toward offenders, urging citizens to report illegal parking and overcharging through MCL and DC Lahore’s social media platforms. The MCL is also working to remove illegal gypsy encampments in the Iqbal Zone, having already dismantled four structures. These operations aim to restore order and regulate public spaces.
As part of broader city management efforts, authorities have issued final warnings to gypsies to vacate unauthorized settlements. New relocation areas are being planned, with the goal of improving Lahore’s urban environment and overall aesthetics.
