\nThe district administration\u2019s anti-encroachment operation continued in full swing for the fifth consecutive day, targeting illegal structures across the city\u2019s busiest commercial hubs, including Saddar Bazaar, Sunehri Masjid Road, Stadium Road, and other prominent locations.
\nOfficials say the campaign aims to clean up the city, restore order, and ensure easier pedestrian access. \u201cThe primary goal is to make public spaces accessible and organized, which will not only benefit citizens but also enhance commercial activities,\u201d said a senior district official.
\nMany traders have welcomed the move, noting that government-constructed footpaths, developed at a cost of crores of rupees, have long been occupied by illegal vendors. \u201cClearing these encroachments will significantly improve public convenience and rejuvenate the business environment,\u201d said one local trader.
\nHowever, the operation has sparked protests from shopkeepers at Fawara Chowk in Saddar Bazaar. Speaking to the media, Fawara Chowk Traders\u2019 President Javed Khan voiced strong concerns. \u201cOur shops are worth crores, yet they are overshadowed by illegal food stalls\u2014selling dahi bhallas, fast food, and other items\u2014which are damaging our visibility and hurting our business,\u201d he said.
\nHe demanded the immediate removal of such unauthorized setups and urged higher authorities to intervene. \u201cWe appeal to the Corps Commander, Station Commander, Chief Secretary Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Commissioner Peshawar, and Executive Officer Cantt to take notice of this issue and ensure that rightful shopkeepers are given their due,\u201d Khan added.
\nAs the operation continues, the district administration faces the challenge of balancing civic order with commercial sensitivities<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
