Wall built by Cantt Board sparks controversy

LAHORE - A wall erected behind one side of commercial plazas in Cavalry Ground has become controversial among the residents, plaza owners and the cantonment authorities, while a few are happy after the partition.

The Lahore Cantonment Board reportedly built the wall on the complaint of some residents who complained that backside of the commercial buildings had virtually been converted into parking lots and had become a constant source of trouble for them.

As a result of the partition, however, three entry points from behind the commercial area, which the residents would frequently use, have been blocked, thus forcing them to take longer route to get to the shops.

They cannot even enter into the business centre on foot as it has been completely sealed off in the rear.
