In February, 2015 the Sindh High Court ordered the Karachi commissioner and law enforcement agencies to remove illegal barriers from the streets of Karachi and submit a report on the matter. The petition was filed by the secretary general of the United Human Rights Commission of Pakistan and a civil rights campaigner.
The barriers were eventually removed in 2015, but in 2023 these barriers are making a comeback, in contravention of the SHC order. The commissioner Karachi should ensure that these illegal barriers are taken down immediately, before this case winds up in the courts again.
