It conducted another operation today to vacate 350 acres of land belonging to the KMC Officer’s Housing Society in District West and KMC amenity land on Mangopir Road.
As per the publication, KMC officials in collaboration with the traffic police and Sindh police removed illegal structures including food stalls and cabins on footpaths and roads.
KMC Anti-Encroachment Senior Director Bashir Siddiqui confirmed that the operation was conducted in all the streets near Empress Market. The encroachers returned to the streets within a few hours but KMC’s officials stayed vigilant and arrested three encroachers.
According to the KMC director,
the Rangers and Sindh Police have already been informed about the operation, he
said and added that the corporation will demolish about 100 illegal shops in
Ranchor Line.
This operation has turned into a joke. You have to demolish the buildings to keep these people away. Similarly those big houses on the periphery of Hill Park owned by the ultra rich business men have easily doubled the size of their properties by bribing the KDA and Bahadurabad officials. These same people have also occupied places in Sadar, MA Jinnah road.
