anti-encroachment operation

Illegal structures falling under the limits of 30 feet of the nullah are being razed.  

A strategy has been devised to raze all the structures built along the Gujjar Nullah during the “grand operation.”

Following the orders of the deputy commissioner, an anti-encroachment operation was started in Malir to demolish over 200 illegal farmhouses.

The anti-encroachment operation has been temporarily halted by Karachi Development Authority (KDA) as police personnel are busy in assisting polio vaccination teams.

The Sindh High Court (SHC) has rejected the issuance of a stay order against the anti-encroachment operation in Karachi.

Local people, including large number of women and children, protested against the operation to remove the encroachments and chanted slogans against the administrative action.
