According to details, thousands of tons rubble of more than 400 shops and other encroachments around the Karachi Zoo locality is being cleaned up from the city.
Three teams of KMC were assigned with the task of clean-up drive whereas another three teams were still razing illegal buildings in the area.
The operation has been ongoing in Karachi's Garden area by the KMC officials for a couple of days now. In the next phase of operation, KMC will demolish encroachments inside the zoo. As per the shopkeepers of the area, the KMC had earlier served them notices to vacate the shops within one month but now they have abruptly slashed the deadline for removal of their shops.
