District administration Peshawar Wednesday carried out an operation against encroachments made on graveyards in Berri Bagh locality of the district and also arrested 15 persons for creating resistance in official work.
On the directives of the Commissioner Peshawar Division, Riaz Khan Mehsud and Deputy Commissioner Peshawar, Shafiullah Khan, the AAC, Mohammad Azhar Khan along with Deputy Director East Zone, Zulhija conducted anti-encroachment operation in graveyards and removed encroachments.
The operation was carried out through heavy machinery and a heavy contingent of police was also deployed to prevent any unpleasant incident. The persons involved in erecting encroachments were issued several notices for volunteer abolition of encroachments, but in vain, which prompted the administration to launch an anti-encroachment operation against them.
Deputy Commissioner (DC) Peshawar has directed all administrative officers to visit bazaars on a daily basis and sent those re-erecting encroachments behind bars.
