The Anti-encroachment department started operation against encroachments in various areas of the city in order to cleanse the streets of Karachi from illegal vendors. During the operation, several encroachments were removed at Bolton Market, Brince road, M A Jinnah Road and several other conjoined areas. The department had to face severe resistance during the operation as the vendors started screaming and scene was created on the occasion once the department started the operation. Moreover, arrests were also made on the occasion since the vendors were creating hurdles in an activity carried out by the government.
