KARACHI, Nov 04 (APP):Karachi Development Authority (KDA) Estate & Enforcement Department successfully conducted an anti-encroachment operation and reclaimed valuable amenity land that had remained under illegal occupation for approximately 22 years.

The operation was carried out under the supervision of Director Estate & Enforcement Syed Zain Ali Shah, with the active participation of departmental officers and staff.
During the operation, illegal structures erected on the amenity plot were identified, and small houses constructed on the land were demolished. The land was subsequently cleared of encroachments through the efforts of the department’s enforcement team.

On this occasion, KDA reiterated its commitment to protecting government and amenity lands across the city, eliminating illegal occupations, and safeguarding land reserved for public welfare so that it can be utilized for its originally designated purposes.

The campaign aims to reclaim valuable institutional land from illegal occupation and ensure the protection of public interests and citizens’ rights.
