KARACHI, July 10: A division bench of the Sindh High Court stayed on Tuesday the construction and installation of a gas pump and station in a residential area of Gulistan-i-Jauhar.
The resident of a bungalow in block 15 of KDA scheme 36 submitted through Advocate Naveed Ahmad Khan that a compressed natural gas station was being set up on the plot (No B-1/1) adjacent to his residence.
The petitioner said that the pump would cause health and environmental hazards. It was all the more hazardous because a cellular tower had already been erected in immediate vicinity.
A division bench comprising Justices Mohammad Moosa K. Laghari and Mrs Qaiser Iqbal restrained the owner of the plot from allowing installation of any gas plant or machinery and issued him and the city and provincial governments notices for August 2. Two different benches had stayed the setting up of gas stations in residential areas in North Nazimabad and PECHS last month.
