KARACHI: Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed Friday directed Karachi Commissioner Iqbal Memon to ensure the Nasla Tower building is razed to the ground within a week.
The chief justice was presiding over a hearing related to Nasla Tower’s demolition. He ordered the Karachi commissioner to ensure the process is completed within one week and submit a report on it as well.
“Till when will the process to destroy the building be completed?” asked the chief justice.
“I can provide no time frame for this,” responded the Karachi commissioner. “Two hundred people are working on it.”
In response, the chief justice told him to double the staff to “bring down the building.” He wondered why authorities were demolishing the building from the ground first.
