The recent FCC order lifted the 2019 Supreme Court ban on converting residential and amenity plots into commercial use in Karachi.
This decision has raised concerns over unchecked commercialization without prior assessment of infrastructure capacity and environmental impact.

PILAP challenged political interference in the Sindh Police Force.

The Sindh High Court restored police independence and strengthened accountability mechanisms.

PILAP strongly opposes the lifting of the ban on commercial conversions in Karachi’s residential areas.

Without proper planning and public consultation, this will further burden the city’s infrastructure and environment.
