Pindi going commercial
Illegal use of residential areas on the rise

* Rehmanabad vehicle bazaar annoys residents

RAWALPINDI: The use of residential areas for commercial purposes is on the rise in the city, which is causing the government losses of millions of rupees.

Illegal paint factories, slaughterhouses and motor workshops are being commercially operated with the connivance of the authorities concerned in the residential areas, including Khayaban Sir Syed, Dhok Rata, Dhok Kala Khan and Committee Chowk.

Since these commercial activities are taking place in residential areas ‘without the knowledge of authorities’, the TMA is just recovering income taxes at par with those charged to residents.

Annoyed by the stench caused by these illegal factories and other businesses, residents of the areas have protested against this illegal act. They claimed that not even a single street in those residential areas was free from such factories and slaughterhouses.

The said that illegal motor workshops were also being run in the Dhok Elahi Bakhsh, Dhok Khabba, Sadiqabad, Cha Sultan, Muslim Town and Kuri Road areas.

Meanwhile, a weekly vehicle bazaar is being run in the Rehmanabad area, near Murree Road, in sheer violation of the city government directives.

According to sources, the weekly vehicle bazaar was being set up without a prior permission from the authorities concerned. They said that several complaints of fraud and deceit were being reported in the bazaar.

Moreover, the bazaar caused a severe traffic mess on Murree Road, creating inconvenience for the residents of Rehmanabad as well as transporters.

The residents have requested the authorities concerned to take notice of the illegal vehicles bazaar in the residential area
