The direction came on a contempt-of-court application filed by residents of DHA against the chief executive officer of the CBC, the chief engineer and others for not complying with the court’s orders with regard to the submission of details relating to storm water drainage.
The residents of DHA and Clifton had filed a petition with regard to the effective infrastructure for a sewerage and drainage system, and compensation for the lives lost and the damages to properties suffered by the citizens of Karachi during last year’s monsoon rainfall.

SHC issues notices on plea against encroachment
July 21, 2021
KARACHI: The Sindh High Court has issued notices to the Cantonment Board Clifton (CBC), Defence Housing Authority (DHA) and others on a petition seeking removal of all encroachments from the Gizri creek and the plain, and restore all natural outfalls into the sea so that storm water could flow out to the sea without any obstruction.
The petitioners, Ahmad Shabbar and others, residents of Defence, submitted in the petition that the DHA had encroached upon the Gizri creek estuary and the land around the Mehmoodabad drain which was the permanent cause of flooding in the area threatening life and property of its residents during the monsoon season.
