PHA demolishes illegal structure at Mochi Gate

Author: APP

The Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) demolished a multi-story illegal structure inside Mochi Gate on Tuesday after its owners violated the construction contract.

The building, originally approved as a 2,000 square-foot facility for a boxing academy on PHA-owned land in Mochi Gate, exceeded the agreed-on space, prompting several notices from the PHA to the academy to remove the unauthorised additions.

After the academy failed to comply, the PHA canceled the contract. Today, an enforcement team, supported by a police contingent and equipped with heavy machinery, carried out the demolition. The operation was led by Additional Director General Zeeshan Nasrullah Ranjha.

Director General Muhammad Tahir Wattoo confirmed that the authority would continue to take firm action against encroachments and illegal constructions in green spaces without exception.

In recent weeks, the PHA has targeted illegal structures particularly along the greenbelt near Sattukatla Drain, dismantling several unauthorised commercial and residential buildings. The authority has also removed numerous business and directional signs installed in green spaces across the city.
