LAHORE: A journalists’ colony would be set up in Harbanspura by retrieving the government land from encroachers, said Mian Amer Mahmood, district nazim, on Tuesday

Addressing a gathering at Harbanspura, the nazim said that the houses of the poor would not be demolished nor would any legal owner be deprived of his property. However, he said that strict operations would continue against encroachments on government land. “Stern action will be taken against those who attacked the government officials and hampered anti-encroachment operation,” he said.

Speaking on the occasion, Mian Iftikhar, a local nazim, supported the policies of the chief minister and condemned certain opposition leaders for trying to gain political benefits out of this incident.
