SUKKUR - An anti-encroachment team of Sukkur Railways accompanied by the railways and district police on Thursday launched the anti-encroachment operation which aimed at removing houses and shops illegally constructed on the railway land in Garam Godi area. They removed the illegally constructed houses and shops situated on railway land.

According to the Divisional Superintendent (DS), Sukkur Railways, the notices were issued to the encroachers, but when they failed to remove the encroachments, we were compelled to take action. 

When his attention was drawn towards the encroachments constructed by influential persons, he said that the authorities were not going to spare anybody, no matter how influential they were.

He said that the anti-encroachment operation was being carried out therefore, it would be done across the board, adding that we had issued notices to all the encroachers but some of the influential encroachers had tampered the record and we were going to take care of them, too.

He assured that the operation was not going to stop until the removal of all the encroachments. “We will launch the operation mercilessly within the next couple of days,” he added.
