LAHORE: The Lahore Transport Company (LTC) on Friday launched a grand operation against illegal public transport parking stands at Niazi Shaheed Chowk, which resulted in fierce resistance and demonstrations from transporters. The demonstrators, during the protest, blocked the road, which caused massive traffic problems for the commuters. However, the road was restored after the protestors negotiated with the local administration. LTC CEO Khawaja Haider Latif on the occasion said that these illegal parking stands of intercity wagons and buses were being operated from Niazi Shaheed Chowk for many years, adding that action has been taken into force against these stands beneath Ring Road Flyover at Niazi Shaheed Chowk, as many wagons and buses on were being plied here illegally, resulting in serious traffic problems and hurdles for the commuters.
