They claim that payments are collected from operators, while ordinary residents continue to face problems because of unauthorised occupation of roads and public spaces.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21823 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/media\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-30-at-11.24.31-AM-300x203.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/media\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-30-at-11.24.31-AM-300x203.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/media\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-30-at-11.24.31-AM-768x520.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/media\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-30-at-11.24.31-AM-220x150.jpeg 220w, https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/media\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-30-at-11.24.31-AM.jpeg 899w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Residents have also alleged that some enforcement personnel use mobile phones, social media and WhatsApp messages to alert vendors before planned inspections.
