The Capital Metropolitan had conducted an operation against the encroachments displayed in the streets of Peshawar on Tuesday. The shopkeepers, in reaction to the operation, attacked the staff members. An FIR has been registered against three shopkeepers in this regard.
The encroachments on the busy bazaars of Peshawar have made it impossible to wander through the markets. The shopkeepers in the city vicinity have kept their goods and products on the roads, which takes up a lot of space.
The gradual advance beyond usual limits in Ghanta Ghar, Mina Bazar, Karimpura, Shaheen Bazar, Hashtnagri for instance have made it nearly impossible for people to walk in the markets. The authorities have made an appeal to the shop owners and the shop keepers to remove the encroachments and free up space for people to move.
