ISLAMABAD:

The Islamabad district administration has intensified efforts to clear the federal capital of illegal encroachments, officials confirmed on Friday.

Multiple operations this week targeted unauthorised constructions and commercial activities, resulting in 12 arrests and the shutdown of an illegal petrol agency, said the spokesman of ICT administration.

During the operation, the district administration teams demolished illegal structures in several neighborhoods, including Sector G-13, where an unlicensed petrol-selling operation was shut down.

Meanwhile, during a raid in Golra Road, 12 individuals were arrested for allegedly occupying public land and disrupting traffic flow. In Sector G-13, authorities dismantled makeshift stalls, vendors' carts, and a petrol agency operating without permits.
