Speaking on the occasion, Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chatha said that 20 such plazas have been identified on Murree Road and Satellite Town, which have built shops and offices in the parking areas in the basement, due to which customers park their vehicles on roads which cuase severe traffic jams.

Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chatha said that the main reason for the traffic congestion on Murree Road is the lack of parking facility in big commercial plazas and in view of financial interests, the owners of such plazas have violated the approved parking in bemanist and built shops and offices.
Liaquat Ali Chatha said that the operation against the encroachment mafia in the commercial plazas will be completed and despite the FIRs, if the parking areas in the basement are not restored, the law will take its course and the Metropolitan Corporation will demolish illegal structures in the commercial plazas.
He appreciated the owners and management of Jameel Corporation, Farooq Corporation and Ariz Tower for voluntarily restoring the parking areas. There were warehouses and showrooms in the basement of these plazas, while there was a large amount of garbage and building waste in the basement of the Aeries Tower, which has an area of about eight kanals, which has been removed by the Metropolitan Corporation.
