KMC demolishes K-Electric office built on footpath

KARACHI: The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation’s (KMC) anti-encroachment cell demolished on Saturday an office of K-Electric, the city’s sole power distributor, built on pavement on Shahrah-e-Quaideen road.

An official of KMC relayed a two-room office of the power utility was pulled down as part of its anti-encroachment operation.

He said illegal structures built along Shahrah-e-Quaideen and Shaheed-e-Millat Road are being razed.

Afterwards, he said, KMC has prepared a strategy to launch an anti-encroachment operation around the Jubilee Market.

It is noteworthy that KMC had earlier this month razed to ground over 100 dastarkhawans built on pavements across the city on directives of the Supreme Court.

KMC launched its drive against installations of welfare organisations from District Central as around 50 dastarkhwans and other installations  were removed from the footpaths in Golimar, Gulberg, Nazimabad, North Nazimabad and other areas.

According to a KMC official, welfare organisations which would set up dastarkhawans or structures after the removal will be penalised.

A fine of Rs15,000 to 25,000 would be imposed as per Rule 7 of the Anti-Encroachment Act, 1973.

Young girl’s tragic story makes her symbol of Yemen war

Buthaina Mansur al-Rimi’s life has changed drastically since last year — orphaned in Sanaa, the little girl controversially ended up in Saudi Arabia for medical care and has just returned to Yemen’s capital. Her entire immediate family was wiped out in an air strike by a Saudi-led coalition that backs Yemen’s government, using an explosive device Amnesty International says was made in the US. Images of Buthaina’s rescue and a picture of her swollen and bruised at a hospital trying to force open one of her eyes with her fingers were beamed worldwide. That international fame saw her become something of a propaganda pawn in the war between Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels and Saudi media. “I was in my mother’s room with my father, sisters, brother and uncle, the first missile hit, and my father went to get us sugar to get over the shock, but then the second missile hit, and then the third,” she says. “And then the house fell,” adds the little girl, who says she is eight.
