Karachi Administration Orders Evacuation of Contaminated Buildings

The Karachi administration has taken a decisive step by issuing an order to vacate buildings in the city that have been identified as contaminated and at risk of collapse. This move comes after the alarming discovery of numerous structures in various areas that pose a serious threat to the safety of residents.

Despite previous warnings, a significant number of citizens have chosen to continue living in these hazardous buildings, citing their living situations as the reason for their reluctance to evacuate. However, with the potential dangers becoming increasingly apparent, the administration has now made it a top priority to ensure the evacuation of these at-risk buildings.

Under the directive of Karachi’s Commissioner, Deputy Commissioners have been tasked with expediting the assessment of the damaged buildings. A detailed report on the condition of these structures is expected to be completed within a week, paving the way for the implementation of a formal evacuation plan aimed at safeguarding the residents.

The Karachi administration's proactive approach to addressing the issue of contaminated buildings underscores the importance of prioritizing public safety. By taking swift action to evacuate these hazardous structures, the authorities are demonstrating their commitment to protecting the well-being of the city's residents.
