KARACHI: The Sindh High Court has issued notices to the Karachi Development Authority (KDA) and Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) after a petition was filed against the installation of heavy machinery and batching plant at a public park in North Nazimabad.
The petition was filed by Muhammad Ameen Khan and other residents of North Nazimabad Block H and L.
The petition said that the KDA and KMC have failed to stop Federal Works Organization (FWO) from occupying the public property and installing the plant, which caused noise and environmental pollution.
The petitioners have requested the court to declare FWO’s activities illegal, and in violation of the Karachi Town Planning and Building Regulations 2002 and the resident’s fundamental rights.
Upon the petitioner’s request, Nazir was appointed as Commissioner and was instructed to inspect the site and submit a report by 21st December.
The Nazir was appointed by the Division Bench of the Supreme Court led by Justice Nadeem Akhtar.
The SHC also issued notices to KDA, KMC, and other concerned departments to comment on this in the next hearing
