According to the LDA, illegally constructed shops on residential Plot No. 395-D in Jubilee Town were demolished. Illegal constructions near the Ali Town Terminal on Raiwind Road were also razed.

In a separate recovery operation, another 15 properties were sealed in Allama Iqbal Town over outstanding commercial dues, taking the total number of sealed properties to 81.
Officials said the sealed properties included private schools, colleges, academies, halls, salons, cafés, restaurants and food outlets. Grocery stores, clinics, hardware shops, electrical stores, pharmacies, other retail outlets, car showrooms and offices were also among the properties affected by the enforcement drive.

Property marketing linked with Independence Day celebrations has become increasingly visible on social media in DHA Lahore, with real estate dealers and marketing pages using the Azadi Festival atmosphere to promote different property options.
Social media posts being circulated ahead of 14 August feature plots, houses, commercial properties and property files available in different parts of DHA Lahore.
The marketing campaigns combine Independence Day themes with property promotions in an effort to attract buyers and investors during a period of increased public activity and engagement on social media.
Real estate businesses regularly use major national occasions and festivals to run promotional campaigns, special offers and investment-focused marketing.
The current activity around DHA Lahore reflects a wider trend in which property dealers and developers link their marketing with major events to increase visibility and generate buyer interest.
For prospective buyers, however, promotional campaigns should not replace proper due diligence. Property ownership, approvals, location, development status, payment terms and other relevant documents should be independently verified before making any investment decision.
The Independence Day-linked marketing activity is expected to remain visible across property focused social media pages around 14 August as businesses compete for greater attention from potential buyers.

Kohinoor Textile Mills has approved the installation of a 48.36 megawatt Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) along with an additional 9.34MW solar power plant as part of its energy strategy.
According to the company, both projects are expected to begin commercial operations in the final month of the second quarter of fiscal year 2026-27.
A Battery Energy Storage System allows electricity to be stored in batteries and used when required for industrial operations. Such systems can help companies manage their electricity supply more efficiently and improve energy reliability.
The additional 9.34MW solar project will further expand Kohinoor Textile Mills’ renewable power generation capacity.
Combining solar generation with battery storage can also allow the company to manage electricity production and consumption more effectively during different periods of the day.
The investment represents an important development in the adoption of large scale battery energy storage technology by Pakistan’s industrial sector.
As energy costs and power supply challenges continue to influence industrial operations, a growing number of businesses are exploring solar generation and energy storage solutions. Kohinoor Textile Mills’ latest projects reflect this broader shift towards greater energy efficiency and alternative power sources.
