PHA Takes Action Against Illegal Structure at Mochi Gate

APP

Lahore: The Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) on Tuesday demolished a multi-story structure illegally expanded within Mochi Gate after the owners exceeded the approved building area for a boxing academy.

Initially granted 2,000 square feet on PHA-owned land, the facility was extended beyond the agreed limits despite several warnings.

After continued non-compliance, the PHA canceled the contract and initiated the demolition, led by Additional Director General Zeeshan Nasrullah Ranjha.

PHA Director General Muhammad Tahir Wattoo confirmed the authority’s commitment to strictly handle encroachments on green spaces.

Recent PHA operations have also targeted illegal constructions along the Sattukatla Drain greenbelt, dismantling unauthorized buildings and removing business signs in green spaces citywide.
