LAHORE – Commissioner Lahore Khusro Pervaiz paid a surprise visit to General Bus Stand Badami Bagh (lari adda) and gave executive powers to the administrator to deal with the encroachment problem at the adda.
Khusro met various transporters and discussed their problems, adding that they will be taken into confidence before any action is taken to solve the encroachment problem.
Earlier, the proposal suggesting the shifting of the lari adda to the outskirts of the city as a possible solution to the encroachment problem had faced strong opposition from the transporters who had said that millions of people would lose their job if this measure was taken.
