ISLAMABAD: Minister for Railways Shiekh Rasheed Ahmed on Wednesday told a National Assembly session that the government will not demolish any legal property in Karachi in the name of the anti-encroachment drive. However, both the Centre and Sindh government in compliance with the Supreme Court’s direction took measures to start KCR, said the minister. He said the Supreme Court has given 6-month time to the Sindh Government to construct underpasses on 24 roads crossing on the route of KCR. Both the Centre and Sindh government have resolved to complete the KCR project in the given time period but the reality is that the government has a scarcity of financial resources, said the minister. “We do not have money [even] to pay pensions,” said Rasheed.
