The 'clean-up' of Empress Market doesn't have to be this way
Removal of illegal construction has been ongoing in Karachi since the past few weeks under the directives of the Supreme Court.
The most prominent and visible exercise in this respect was carried out in Saddar. Shops, hawker stalls, extensions of commercial spaces, semi-mobile enactments along the roads and footpaths were demolished.
According to municipal officers, information related to the demolitions was extended in advance to all the prospective affectees in a bid to minimise losses.
