HYDERABAD, Sept 29: The Nazim, Taluka Council, Latifabad, Abdul Jabbar Khan, has once again appealed to the people who had not paid the licence fees for their lawns outside their bungalows and shops to clear their dues and obtain a licence for maintaining them otherwise they would be demolished by the Taluka Council authorities.

In a statement issued the other day, he said that the expenses for the removal of encroachments would also be recovered from the owners of the bungalows and shops who were maintaining lawns without licence.

The Taluka Nazim has directed the TMO, Qamaruddin Shaikh, to seal all those residential properties which had been converted for commercial purposes without paying the conversion charges and to institute legal proceedings against them.

He has advised such property owners to pay their dues.
