KARACHI, Aug 31: The Railway Workers Federation on Friday appealed to the Sindh governor and the police authorities to take notice of encroachment on railway land near Karachi University Railway Station.

In a statement, the federation’s president, Manzoor Razi, said that plot No.115 to 159 in the Railway Cooperative Housing Society near Karachi University Railway Station had been encroached by land mafia due to which retired railway employees and the widows of the employees were in trouble.

The workers federation appealed to the governor and police authorities to do justice to poor railway employees and get the plots vacated.
