IHC judgment regarding illegal construction in E-11 and Banigala.
The most alarming and horrific consequence is the exposure
to the imminent risk of irreversible environmental degradation and
climatic change which definitely affects the fundamental rights of

When it’s severe urban flooding in Karachi DHA it’s the fault of the Sindh government

When it’s severe urban flooding in Islamabad E-11, it’s the fault of the privately run society that manages E-11
