Karachi (HRNW) The commissioner of Karachi has pleaded the top court to give him an extension of 50 days for the demolition of Nasla Tower and Tejori Heights.
On Thursday, Muhammad Iqbal Memon submitted reports on the updates on the demolition of the buildings, built on encroached lands, in the Supreme Court. He said that the administration has begun implementation on the orders of the chief justice.
“The demolition of Nasla Tower has already begun. But the process is complicated and we will need time for it,” the commissioner added.
The top court is expected to go through the reports later in the day.
Memon’s request comes a day after the Supreme Court instructed authorities to immediately demolish the building and summoned Sindh Information Minister Saeed Ghani for opposing the orders.
Ghani had said that he would rather resign from his post than demolish the buildings on the court’s order. Such rulings often lead to humanitarian crises, he added.
