RAWALPINDI:Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB), in campaign against encroachment, confiscated 35 truckloads of goods from different parts of the cantonment during the last one week.
According to RCB spokesman, the operation was carried out in Saddar and its adjoining areas including Bank Road, Kashmir Road, Haider Road, Adam Jee Road, Station Road, Chotta Bazaar and Koila Center areas.
He said it had become impossible for the residents to stroll on walkways due to encroachment along footpaths and roadsides in and around Saddar area.
RCB Chief Executive Officer Malik Umer Farooq urged shopkeepers to cooperate with RCB staff and desist from encroachment else strict action would be taken against those violating the orders.
Meanwhile, the shopkeepers lauded the RCB efforts for clearing the areas from encroachment and demanded to continue the operation regularly.
