Showing their concerns over the illegal occupation of footpaths and roundabouts in various sectors of Gulshan-e-Hadeed, the Pakistan Steel Gulshan-e-Hadeed Committee (Hadeed Welfare Trust) has asked the Karachi commissioner and other relevant authorities to remove the encroachments.
In a letter sent to the commissioner, Haq Nawaz Khattak, incharge of Hadeed Welfare Trust, informed him that encroachers had constructed their setups by the roadside and in the playgrounds of Gulshan-e-Hadeed, disturbing the smooth movement of transport and pedestrians.
Temporary and fixed encroachments on roads and footpaths are on various locations of Gulshan-e-Hadeed Phase 1, including the surrounding area of Allah Wali Chowrangi and Sindhu Chowk, opposite side of Masjid Diyar-e-Habib an Al-Hadeed Hospital to Ideal Mart, the letter said.

HYDERABAD:
The Hyderabad Police have expressed inability to implement the Sindh High Court s (SHC s) order for preventing and taking action against the recurrence of encroachments on government lands recovered during operations over the last two months.
At the hearing of a case pertaining to encroachments, SSP Abdul Salam Shaikh cited before the Hyderabad circuit on Tuesday the shortage of personnel and their preoccupation with law and order, guard duties and traffic policing.
Last month, the SHC had ordered that the SHO of the relevant police station, besides the local government department s staff, would be booked in FIRs if the recurrence of encroachments occurred.
