LAHORE: Lahore Development Authority (LDA) Director General Muhammad Ali Randhawa has said that strict actions should be taken against defaulters of commercialization fees and other official dues.

He expressed these views while chairing a meeting regarding the resource generation of LDA in which the targets and performance of resource generation of all departments were reviewed.

He averred that by the end of the financial year, all the officers of the departments should focus on completing their targets by all means.
