Like the previous years, the Punjab government has also announced an operation against intervention this year, but given the unchanging nature of the problem, the crash will bring any long-term improvement in the intervention problem.

According to documents obtained by Express Pakinomist, operations against illegal interventions are underway in 41 districts in 10 divisions in the province, with the highest number of operations performed in the Lahore Division. A total of 55,361 operations were performed in Lahore, and three other districts where more than 3,000 stores were sealed, fines were worth more than RS400 million, while 500 cases were registered. In the wake, more than 5,000 permanent and more than three million temporary interventions were removed.

Although intervention has plagued law and order in the province over the past twenty years or so, the government’s failure to break against officials who take bribes from intervention have enabled pesting practices to continue.

Afzal Ahmed, a Patwari, confirmed that there were many stores and houses that were only built on paper. “In this regard, the new government rewards them to its servants or increases the rent and the security amount by giving postponement notification,” Ahmed said.

Muhammad Hussain, who runs a Lahore restaurant, confirmed that the government had allowed several generations of their family to run their business on government land by taking bribery. “This process has been going on for the past 25 years. The staff in the municipality clears the case by taking money. This trend does not end,” Hussain said.

“The incoming governments take the posts of the old government’s servants and give them to the people of their party. This process generates revenue while also allowing new money to flow into the Treasury in the form of security,” the former DG -Local Government revealed Masood Mahmood Tamana.

Urban city planner Mian Sohail Hanif believed that the urban planning department was blamed for intervention in the province. “For revenue, they first impose taxes on the markets in the form of marketing and do not legalize them. Store owners and contractors pay compensation to the municipality and the company on a monthly and annual basis. Unless the municipalities and companies formally declare markets that commercial and non-commercial with effective planning alongside legal tax tax taxes be established, “the willing he.

On the other hand, Tanveer Ahmed Khan, a former Chief Corporation Officer, pointed out that the political nature of intervention led to their establishment and possible removal and highlighted the need for better legislation and urban planning.

In a speech with Express Pakinomist, Punjab Information Minister Uzma Bukhari indicated that Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif was obliged to perform the anti-intruding operation fairly and planned to rehabilitate unemployed persons affected by these actions.

“The government does not want to create unemployment. To clear the intervention and tackle the resulting challenges facing markets, is crucial to ensure the smooth flow of traffic,” Bukhari said.
