The Supreme Court has issued orders to immediately revive the Circular Railway in Karachi and told the authorities to remove encroachments from railway tracks across the city. A meeting chaired by Justice Gulzar Ahmed was held in the SC's Karachi registry on Saturday. DS Railways told the judge that the Railways land in various areas of the city was encroached upon. Justice Gulzar told the authorities to have the railways tracks cleared through the deputy commissioners.
The DHA and cantonment boards have also been ordered to remove encroachments from the railway tracks. Justice Gulzar also ordered the local administration to raze the shops under the FTC Bridge and have areas around Shahrah-e-Faisal and Rashid Minhas cleared of encroachments.
