Commissioner Javed Akhtar Mahmood has ordered to launch crackdown against illegal construction of residential colonies. He issued the direction while chairing a meeting held at his office on Tuesday. Speaking on the occasion, the commissioner termed building of unlawful colonies anywhere in Multan as question mark on performance of the Multan Development Authority (MDA). He asked for launching operation against encroachments in bazaars to facilitate visitors. “The illegal constructions have ruined the beauty of the city,” he remarked. The commissioner elaborated that Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar had assigned the task to shift grain, timber and iron markets out of the city. “All buses and trucks stands would also be removed from busy civic areas.” He instructed the authority concerned to chalk out plan about building and repairing of main highways.
