SC issues contempt of court notice to Sindh chief secretary over KCR case

 It is pertinent to mention here that the apex court, on February 21, had ordered to make KCR operational within six months.

During the hearing today, the top court issued show-cause notice to chief secretary and PR secretary over failure to remove encroachment from the track of KCR. The SC has ordered both the CS Sindh and PR secy to submit their written reply within two weeks, detailing why they have failed in clearing the track of the KCR.

The court bench also remarked that why the work on the KCR has not started yet, despite clear orders of the SC. "Will summon Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah if needed," CJP Justice Gulzar Ahmed remarked.

The chief secretary Sindh and secretary PR and DG FWO have been directed to appear before the court on the next hearing.
