Operation taken against illegal buildings in Karachi’s Delhi Colony

KARACHI (92 News) – Implementing on the orders of Supreme Court (SC), the district administration has begun an operation against illegal buildings in Karachi’s Delhi Colony. As per details garnered, an operation carried out against a 12-storey building in Delhi Colony began. The apartment complex comprises 24 flats and four shops. The residents of the building showed resistance and the administration called more personnel of the police. The administration said that the building has been vacated and will be demolished within two days. However, the team is facing difficulties because of the narrow lanes adjacent to the building, the official said. The front and back roads leading to it have been sealed. Residents of the area have complained that the government promised to give them better alternative residences but never fulfilled their promise. “The people whose houses were demolished in Golimar and other areas are now living in worse conditions,” a resident said. “They have come on the roads because of this,” he added.
