KARACHI: As part of a drive to clear encroachments along Karachi’s storm water drains ahead of the monsoon season to avoid urban flooding, the civic authorities will launch an anti-encroachment operation along the 7000 road nallah tomorrow.
The anti-encroachment drive has been launched in pursuance of the Supreme Court’s orders calling for removal of all kind of encroachments on the port city’s storm water drains.
The anti-encroachment operation on the 7000 road nallah will be launched on June 2 (tomorrow) at 7am, according to the District Central deputy commissioner. He has written a letter to the Metropolitan Commissioner, KMC to provide necessary machinery/equipment and labour for the operation.
The KMC’s anti-encroachment director will lead the operation. The deputy commissioner has asked the Pakistan Rangers, Sindh, the SSP Central and SSP Anti-Encroachment Force for security personnel to assist the civil authorities in accomplishing the task.
Earlier, a meeting of the Karachi Coordination Committee with Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah in the chair was informed that the KMC had suspended the anti-encroachment drive at Mehmoodabad Nullah, Gujjar Nullah and Orangi Nullah after the Sindh High Court’s restraining order.
