Karachi, 8 January (H.S.): The situation in Pakistan’s Sindh province turned violent when a drive to remove encroachments led to clashes between authorities and a mob, leaving at least 12 policemen injured.
The clashes occurred in the Qasimabad area of Hyderabad city on Tuesday, where authorities faced strong resistance from locals as they attempted to remove encroachments and structures. The purpose of the drive was to restore an irrigation channel and build a 24-foot wide road on the land.
However, the presence of a strong police backup did not deter the angry mob, resulting in a violent confrontation. The incident highlights the ongoing issue of encroachment in Pakistan and the challenges authorities face in implementing development projects.
