KARACHI, July 28: The Karachi Water and Sewerage Board moved another step closer to the construction of the Greater Karachi Sewerage Plan, commonly known as the S-III project, on Saturday when police in an operation removed encroachments from a 50-acre piece of land  of the 100 acres reserved for the KWSB in Mauripur.

A heavy contingent of police carried out an anti-encroachment operation. The encroachers of the land fled and the illegally-constructed wall around the land was also bulldozed, according to a KWSB press statement.
