Lahore Development Authority (LDA) officials, heavy machinery and others took part in the operation. Containers blocking roads around Zaman Park were removed with the help of cranes.

The operation was launched after Punjab caretaker CM Mohsin Naqvi ordered the removal of ‘encroachments’ outside Zaman Park – the residence of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, as negotiations over a search operation ended ‘without any result’.

The caretaker chief minister issued the remarks after holding a meeting with the government team – a four-member delegation of Punjab police – that held negotiations with Imran Khan over a search of his house.
