Karachi: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Friday (November 13) directed the city administration to submit a report on the progress of the Gulbai to Hawke’s Bay road project, news sources reported.
Reportedly, the court instructed the Lyari Development Authority’s (LDA) Director General (DG) Muhammad Ishaque Khuhro, the Karachi Development Authority’s (KDA) planning and design director and others to provide a report on the clearance of encroachments along the road.
According to the details, after hearing Advocate Uzma’s plea, the SHC asked the authorities to hasten construction on the road as well as the removal of encroachment to maintain the smooth flow of traffic in the city. The petitioner contended that the presence of a truck stop along the route not only causes wear and tear on the road, but also contributes to traffic jams and long queues of cars during peak hours.
During the hearing, it was discovered that the petition was submitted before the court in 2019, but the officials did not provide an official answer to it. The SHC bench ordered the officials to produce a detailed project report within one month.
