During a meeting with the heads of civic agencies, Mehmood announced that the caretaker government has instructed these organizations to initiate anti-encroachment campaigns in their respective tehsils and districts.

Mehmood accused the tehsil municipal administrations, National Highway Authority (NHA), and Communication and Works Department of issuing non-objection certificates to builders under political pressure in the past. 

Nevertheless, the government has made a decision to start anti-encroachment drives to clear the right-of-way and demolish such structures.

Mehmood also revealed that an anti-encroachment campaign in Mansehra has been planned and will be launched soon.
