SHC directs KMC, others to take steps to foil bid to encroach on Lyari park
Karachi
April 29, 2021
The Sindh High Court has directed the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation and others to take appropriate effective steps to protect Ismail Shaheed Park in Lyari against any encroachment or illegal construction.
The direction came on a petition of Zohra Begum against an encroachment at the public park situated in Shah Baig Lane, Block 1, Lyari.
The petitioner’s counsel, Ziaul Haq Makhdoom, submitted in the petition that residents of the area had made the park functional a couple of years ago, but certain unscrupulous persons demolished the road-facing wall of the park, and tried to encroach upon the park. The counsel submitted the authorities had been approached with regard to the illegal construction and encroachment on the land of the park, but to no avail.
• Action will be taken against violators • Casualties reported in Rawalpindi, Islamabad • 598 test positive
