What happened

The Sindh government announced a large-scale anti-encroachment operation in Karachi along major thoroughfares, including University Road and People's Bus Service routes. This action follows a previous 15-day ultimatum issued by Mayor Murtaza Wahab on October 24, which reportedly resulted in less than 10% of targeted encroachments being removed.

Encroachments in Karachi are described as a highly profitable practice, where businesses often pay bribes or absorb small fines rather than paying rent. The operation involves the Sindh government and the Transport Department engaging in joint activities with city administration.
