Anti-encroachment drive on national highway begins

On the directions of DIG, National Highways and Motorway Police (NH&MP) N-5 Central zone Rai Altaf Hussain, have started a special anti-encroachment campaign to remove temporary and permanent encroachments on national highway from Lahore to Rahim Yar Khan in collaboration with National Highway Authority and local police.

Under the supervision of SSP Central-I Mirza Faran Baig a special team has been made.

The team headed by CPO/DSP Khalil Ahmed removed more than 70 permanent encroachments on N-5 Central from Thokar Niaz Baig to Manga Mandi, which become hurdle directly or indirectly in the free flow of traffic on National Highway.
