After successful anti-Encroachment Operation at Gujjar Nullah, another gigantic task of encroachments clearance on Ziauddin-Karimabad 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 Deputy Commissioner Karachi Central Captain retd Farid-ud-din Mustafa while talking to journalists here.
He added that the operation is in line with Chief Minister Sindh's vision to make Karachi free from all sort of encroachments and is aimed at widening of Karimabad road by 10 feet on each side. DC Fareed-ud-din said that the operation would continue in phases in coming days and he expressed his hope that in next 15 days time frame the operation would be finished successfully. It is pertinent to note that Karimabad-Ziauddin road has been shrunk considerably due to successive encroachments. This is first time in last 30 years that Anti-Encroachment campaign is being carried out in this politically sensitive area. He reiterated his commitment that the drive against encroachments would continue without any pressure.
