Karachi (HRNW) A petition has been filed in the Sindh High Court challenging the registration of an FIR against DHA protesters.
On September 2, the CBC had filed a case against the protesters who staged a demonstration outside its office on Khayaban-e-Rahat on August 31. Hundreds of men, women, and children participated in the protest after their houses were submerged in heavy monsoon rains on August 27. Most areas didn’t have power for over 70 hours and some areas, such as Khayaban-e-Bukhari and Mujahid, remain flooded.
The petition said that the DHA residents face many difficulties because of the monsoon rains in August, adding that there was water outside their houses for many days and they suffered many losses after their possessions were washed away.
The CBC assured the protesters that their demands will be met. Some of the protesters found out after 60 hours that a case has been registered against them.
The court has stopped the police from carrying out an investigation against the protesters. The respondents have given till September 24 to submit their replies.
