Karachi: The Faisal Cantonment Board has ordered for the demolition of advertisement walls on Shara-e-Faisal on 20th June 2018, according to a news report. Previously, the Supreme Court had also took notice of this and directed that all such walls be demolished.
However, representatives of Outdoor Advertisements Association (OAA) appeared before the court and said that they would face massive losses if the walls are demolished and would lose millions in investment. The court refused this plea and said that no such permission would be given. An applicant also informed the court that despite directions by the Supreme Court, billboards had been installed. To this, the court has said that such walls and boards are destroying the beauty of the metropolis and should hence be brought down.
