KARACHI: (HRNW) Nasla Tower residents Thursday demanded the Supreme Court of Pakistan ensure they are compensated for their losses, as the Karachi District administration took over the building.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan had ruled that the building, which it said has been constructed illegally, be taken down.
Talking to Geo News, a resident of the 15-storey building said that he was vacating his home in compliance with the orders of the apex court, urging the Supreme Court to ensure residents are compensated.
Expressing their disappointment, residents said neither the builder was not ready to compensate them for their losses nor was the city administration willing to do so.
“So far, no one has contacted us for the compensation money,” he added.
Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner Karachi East Asif Jan Siddiqi said that the administration had taken control of Nasla Tower last night after the deadline to vacate the illegally-constructed building had expired.
He said the Karachi commissioner has sought bids via advertisements to have the building demolished.
