He added that many of the residents had several times confrontation with the occupiers of the flying coach stand and tractor workshops and also complained to the high-ups, however, few traffic police cops allegedly informed the occupiers that traffic police didn’t want to take action against them but a journalist, Riaz Mayar, living in Toheed Colony, had complained to the high-ups and that’s why they were forced to take action against their illegal occupations.
