KARACHI, July 21 (APP): The Sindh government has ordered the

Planning Department – have been directed to take action against illegal
and unauthorised possession of land of Gutter Baghicha.
“The illegal allotments already made without rules and procedure
may be cancelled, if any allotment has been made legally then
justification may be provided,” the Municipal Commissioner was
advised in the letter.
It is also directed that the KMC or any other authority shall not
make any new allotment at Guttar Baghicha and that proper action as per
law should be taken if land grabbers illegally occupy any plot.

Federation’s General Secretary Tahir Sawati had lodged complaints
with concrete proofs to the Secretary Local Government and other
authorities concerned against illegal allotments and encroachments
at Gutter Baghicha park land and had demanded action against
