KARACHI: Following the orders of the Supreme Court (SC), the demolition of Nasla Tower has started with local administration.
The demolition of the Nasla Tower’s top floor has begun manually with the help of local labourers. As a precautionary measure, the inner structure of the top floor is being demolished first.
Commissioner Karachi has also reached the demolition site and got the briefing from the commissioner Karachi East zone.
Earlier, the Supreme Court (SC) while showing resentment over the report of commissioner Karachi regarding Nasla Tower demolition case had ordered to raze the structure immediately and submit the report till afternoon.
The hearing of the case was held at the SC Karachi Registry. A larger bench headed by the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Gulzar Ahmed asked the Karachi commissioner to give up his post if he is unable to perform the task.
“We will send you straight to jail,” remarked CJP while hearing the Nasla Tower demolition implementation case.
