  "summary": "The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) conducted a crackdown on Saturday, sealing 81 properties across the city in an effort to target illegal commercial buildings and those with unpaid commercial fees. The operations were carried out in various LDA-controlled areas, including Gulberg, Canal Road, Gulshan Ravi, Shadbagh, Shah Jamal, Poonch Road, and Allama Iqbal Town. Chief Town Planner Asad-uz-Zaman oversaw the efforts, which resulted in the sealing of 30 properties in Gulberg for illegal commercial use, and an additional 40 properties on Canal Road, Gulshan Ravi, Shadbagh, Shah Jamal, Poonch Road, and 11 in Allama Iqbal Town for similar reasons. The sealed establishments encompass a range of businesses, from private schools and grocery stores to cafes, restaurants, clinics, and auto workshops.",
