Karachi: The National Human Rights Commission of Pakistan’s representative Anees Haroon and Karachi Circular Railway Affectees Action Committee Chairman Haji Khan Badshah have said in a joint statement that KCR affectees should be compensated with land as soon as possible – reported a news source.
They said that before any more houses were destroyed, compensation should be provided to the people already affected by the previous actions.
They said it should also be determined how much land KCR needs so that where a 5-feet cutting may be enough, 20-feet cutting of land should not be destroyed. Moreover, until the funds needed to make KCR functional are fully available, no new homes should be destroyed.
They further demanded that a committee should also be formed consisting of government members and representatives of affected parties, so the coordination and communication between both can be improved.
