Notice issued: CNG station takes home dept to court
Notice demands answer within 10 days as to why containers parked on roads around the Sindh Assembly building.
KARACHI:
Sindh High Court’s Justice Musheer Alam issued notices to the home department secretary, advocate general, SHO Arambagh and other officials, demanding an answer within 10 days as to why containers have been parked on the roads around the Sindh Assembly building.
The owners of the Gasoline Inn — a CNG station located on the court road — filed a petition with a two-member bench of the Sindh High Court, in which they stated that they earn around Rs65,000 every day and have been paying their income tax regularly every month.
The petitioners said that their business had started suffering ever since the roads around the Sindh Assembly building had been blocked with containers in the second month of November. They appealed to the court that the containers be removed.
On Nov 23, the government blocked a portion of Court Road for traffic by placing heavy containers on both sides of the road in an attempt to make the Sindh Assembly building and other provincial government departments more secure.
