Lahore: The Lahore Development Authority has launched a major crackdown against illegal commercial activities, sealing 233 properties across multiple areas under its controlled jurisdiction. The operation was conducted in key localities including Defence Road, Wapda Town, Gulberg, Garden Town, GT Road, Muslim Town, Samanabad, and Sabzazar. Officials stated that properties were sealed due to unauthorized commercial use and non-payment of commercialisation fees. The sealed units include schools, restaurants, clinics, salons, and retail outlets.

The move aims to regulate urban development, ensure compliance with building laws, and improve planned commercial activity across Lahore.
