KARACHI: Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has launched a massive campaign against removal of signboards installed at different roundabouts in the provincial metropolis.
The anti-encroachment department of the metropolitanm corporation dismantled several signboards in the Central, South and Korangi districts.
In District South, KMC officials removed advertisements from the Hyperstar, Do Talwar and Teen Talwar roundabouts. They uprooted signboards at the Five Star, Nazimabad Petrol Pump and Baqai roundabouts in the Central district.
In Korangi, KMC staffers removed advertisements from the Shan, Brooks and Indus roundabouts.
Senior KMC Director Bashir Siddiqui said the operations were being conducted on the directives of Karachi Administrator Iftikhar Shallwani. Anti-encroachment teams would remove advertisement boards from all Karachi districts, he said.
Commissioner Shallwani issued the orders a few days ago to improve the appearance of the city. The orders were followed by the KMC’s cancellation of all allotments to advertisers.
