KARACHI: After the successful anti-encroachment operation at Gujjar Nullah, another gigantic task of encroachments clearance on Ziauddin- Kareem Abad Road has started in District Central Karachi.
So far, during this operation, more than 180 structures, including triple story houses, shops and other encroachment have been demolished.
This was told by Karachi Central Deputy Commissioner Captain (r) Fariduddin Mustafa, while talking to media men.
The operation is in line with the Sindh chief minister’s vision to make Karachi free from all sorts of encroachments and is aimed at the widening of Kareemabad Road by 10 feet.
DC Fareeduddin said that the operation would continue in phases in coming days, adding that in next 15 days, the operation would be finished successfully. He reiterated his commitment that the drive against encroachments would continue without any pressure.
It is pertinent to note that Kareemabad- Ziauddin Road has been shrunk badly due to massive encroachments. This is the first time in last 30 years that an anti-encroachment campaign is being carried out in this politically sensitive area.
