RAWALPINDI: Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) on Monday confiscated four truckload goods from different markets in its operation against encroachments.
The operation on the instruction of Cantonment Executive Officer (CEO) Dr Saima Shah has been intensified and efforts are being made to make RCB areas encroachment free, said RCB spokesman Qasir Mahmood. The operation is being conducted on daily basis while permanent and temporary encroachments are being removed, he said.
The illegal structures not only block the roads but also cause a lot of inconvenience to the customers visiting the busy markets. He said that encroachments have been removed from Masrial Road, Chungi No 22, Saddar, Tench Bhatta, Chor, Peoples Colony and Dhoke Syedan. Handcarts, counters, chairs, tables and other items of encroachers were confiscated.
The shopkeepers have been warned not to encroach space on roadside and keep their goods inside the shops otherwise strict action in accordance with the law would be taken.
