The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Tuesday directed the Cantonment Board Clifton (CBC) and the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) to submit complete details with regard to the assignment of work relating to storm water drainage in their respective jurisdictions.
The direction came on a contempt-of-court application filed by DHA residents against the CBC’s chief executive officer, chief engineer and other officials for not complying with the court’s orders about submitting details relating to storm water drainage in their neighbourhood.
DHA and CBC residents had filed a petition with regard to effective infrastructure for sewerage and drainage system, and compensation for damages to lives and properties suffered by the city’s people during last year’s monsoon rains.
