KARACHI, March 7: The CDGK is launching an anti-encroachment drive from Saturday to enforce civic discipline on over a dozen main carriageways in the metropolis, said City Nazim Mustafa Kamal.

Talking to newsmen at his office on Friday, he said that roadside vendors and parking of vehicles along main carriageways are the main reasons behind traffic jams and in order to maintain a smooth flow of traffic the CDGK, in collaboration with the town administrations, has decided to take action against them.

He said that from Saturday, the city government would remove all pushcarts and other encroachments while vehicles found parked along the main carriageways would be issued tickets and impounded.—Staff Reporter
