Islamabad district administration carried out operations against encroachments in different parts of the city, arresting 12 people and sealing 10 shops.
The action also led to the retrieval of government land illegally occupied in Tarnol and Lohi Bher. The administration with the support of police and enforcement staff, launched operations in Tarnol and Lohi Bher. During the drive, 12 individuals were taken into custody for resisting the removal of encroachments. Authorities also sealed 10 commercial outlets that were found operating on encroached land.
Heavy machinery was used to demolish illegal structures, and the retrieved land was handed back to the relevant departments. The district administration reported that the operations focused on clearing government-owned land from unlawful use. Encroachers had set up temporary and permanent structures, including shops and stalls, without approval.
Officials stated that the recovered land would now be used for public welfare projects and utility services.

The administration emphasised that no one would be allowed to occupy state land for private gain. Legal action will be taken against those found violating regulations, and sealed properties will remain under official custody until further orders.
