Joint teams of Faisalabad Development Authority (FDA) and Municipal Corporation, accompanied by Assistant Commissioner (AC) City and PERA Force, have removed encroachments from the streets and markets of Gulberg-C.
An FDA spokesman said here on Thursday that during operation, several permanent and illegal structures – platforms, ramps, iron grills, sheds, and vehicle garages – established on streets, markets, and public passageways were removed with the help of heavy machinery.
He stated that the local administration had already issued notices to the encroachers, directing them to voluntarily remove all illegal structures and obstructions. Despite the stipulated deadline, however, the violators failed to comply, leading to the joint operation in line with the district administration’s directions.
The spokesman noted that encroachments on public passageways were removed without discrimination, completely clearing all obstructions to restore the original width of the streets. This operation was supervised by FDA Director General Muhammad Asif Choudhary and led by Estate Officer Faran Hashmi, along with Assistant Estate Officer Aslam Gujjar, Anti-Encroachment Inspector Aslam Ansari, and other relevant staff.
Similarly, the Municipal Corporation team completed the anti-encroachment operation under Deputy Chief Officer Azmat Firdous’s supervision, accompanied by Anti-Encroachment Inspector Akram Shehzad and vacation/removal staff.
In line with divisional and district administration directives and FDA Director General Muhammad Asif Choudhary’s policy, operations against encroachments will continue undiscriminatingly. Citizens have been advised to refrain from conducting any construction or placing goods on government land, streets, footpaths, and public passageways in a way that obstructs public movement.
The affected areas will be continuously monitored post-removal of encroachments to prevent the re-establishment of illegal structures. Legal action will be taken against those attempting to recreate encroachments, while immediate action on citizen complaints regarding encroachments is also guaranteed.
FDA Director General Muhammad Asif Chaudhary emphasized that providing citizens with clean, spacious, and safe public passageways, alongside ensuring the beauty and orderly development of the city, remains a top priority. For this purpose, all relevant departments will continue coordinated operations against encroachments through mutual coordination and an integrated strategy.
