Crackdown on Commercial Activities and Illegal Constructions in Zaman Park

Lahore Development Authority (LDA) launched a significant operation in Zaman Park, part of Zaman Colony, demolishing illegal commercial constructions and sealing several shops. The action targeted businesses operating illegally on residential plots, including a fast-food restaurant, bakery, furniture shop, and beauty salon. This is part of an ongoing drive to enforce zoning laws and address resident complaints about commercial encroachment.

Legal Dispute and Demolition Threats Over Land Ownership in Zaman Colony

A section of Zaman Colony faced legal turmoil and potential demolition after a private claimant alleged ownership of the land. The claimant obtained a court order, leading to notices being served to several households. The situation caused significant distress among residents, who argued they had legitimate allotments from the Lahore Development Authority decades ago. The case highlights ongoing land title disputes in older Lahore settlements.

Development and Modernization of Civic Infrastructure

As part of city-wide upgrades, infrastructure work has been undertaken in the Zaman Colony area. This includes road rehabilitation and repairs to the sewerage system aimed at alleviating chronic flooding and drainage issues during the monsoon season. While welcomed, residents have complained about the slow pace and disruption caused by the ongoing construction work.
