KARACHI: Sindh Minister for Local Government Syed Nasir Hussain Shah on Saturday vowed to “wholeheartedly” implement the Supreme Court’s orders regarding the removal of encroachments and completion of planned development work in Karachi. “The orders issued by the chief justice and the directions of the Supreme Court will be implemented wholeheartedly,” he said while talking to reporters here. Noting that a large number of people are usually involved in illegal constructions, the minister said a vigilance committee of the government had removed 900 illegal structures in the city. “Action was taken against people involved in such [constructions] in the past and will be taken in the future as well,” he said. Shah said the Sindh government has regularised many goths and villages where people have historically been living.
