Drive against encroachments criticized
GUJRANWALA, Dec 18: Councillors have criticized the Wazirabad town nazim and the tehsil municipal administration for rendering a large number of vendors and small shopkeepers jobless during an anti-encroachment drive. The elected representatives demanded withdrawal of cases against them and said that they should be provided with some alternative place to continue their business.
Speaking at a news conference here on Sunday, UC-25 Nazim Muhammad Hafeez Khilji and other councillors said ruling party Town Nazim ex-MPA Chaudhry Nawazish Ali Cheema earlier had removed all public welfare water supply spouts from Ghakkhar Town and now launched operation against encroachments in Wazirabad.
They said small shopkeepers and vendors should be allotted some other place on priority basis to continue their business.
