4,000 houses to be demolished to clear banks of Gujjar Nullah Karachi February 5, 2021 The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation’s (KMC) Anti-Encroachment Department will start its operation to clear the banks of the massive Gujjar Nullah on Monday. Anti-Encroachment Senior Director Bashir Siddiqui said that around 4,000 houses have been marked by the district administration for demolition. Siddiqui said that during the first phase starting on Monday, soft encroachments will be removed, just like in the case of the Mehmoodabad Nullah anti-encroachment operation. Soft encroachments like animal dens, small hotels, kiosks, iron grills, gates and balconies will be removed, which will help pave the way for the KMC’s heavy machinery to enter the area, he added.
