KMC postpones anti-encroachment operations in Karachi’s Saddar area

The anti-encroachment personnel of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) decided not to launch an operation against encroachments near Empress Market in the Saddar area of Karachi.

As per the details, the anti-encroachment was postponed after successful negotiations between DC South Irshad Ali and shopkeepers of Empress Market and Bara Market. The shopkeepers have been given a few days to vacate the area after the five hours long negotiations.

KMC’s anti-encroachment personnel also left the area while the shopkeepers ended their protests.
