KARACHI: Residents of Moon Garden Flats were forced to spend the cold November Wednesday night under open skies as the apartment complex was sealed on court’s orders.
Residents protested and chanted slogans against the move and the government’s departments saying that they had been used their lifelong savings to buy the flat and now have been robbed of it.
Protestors also lamented why the construction of the building had not been halted 15 years ago if it was illegal. The Court’s ultimatum for residents to evacuate the building expires Thursday evening.
According to the details, Moon Garden flat is built on railway’s land in Gulistan-e-Johar, Karachi. The building was sealed two days ago by order of the court.
A two member bench of the Sindh High Court led by Justice Sajjad Ali Shah gave a deadline of 24 hours for the building’s evacuation.
