Residents demand immediate halt to KMC operations along Gujjar, Orangi nullahs Karachi April 17, 2021 The Karachi Bachao Tehreek has demanded immediately halting the “illegal anti-encroachment operation” at the Gujjar and Orangi nullahs. Addressing a news conference at the Karachi Press Club on Friday, its members also demanded that the people affected by the operation be provided with alternative accommodation as per a Supreme Court order, and not a Rs90,000 cheque. Since February, the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation’s (KMC) anti-encroachment department has illegally demolished thousands of leased houses constructed at a little distance from Gujjar and Orangi storm water drains, they said, adding that thousands of such more houses were to be demolished by the corporation in the future.
