He said that it was necessary to take action against “this mafia that is looting the people and damaging the beauty of the city.”

He said that as a first step, notices would be sent to the fake aamils and pirs and they would be heavily fined, if they failed to remove their advertisements from walls within 15 days.

He said that in case of re-emergence of wall chalking in Rawal Town, strict action would be taken against the concerned officials.
