SC Bars Construction in Karachi’s DHA Park, Allows Only Jogging Track

The Supreme Court has prohibited all construction activities in a public park within Karachi’s Defence Housing Authority (DHA), except for the development of a jogging track. The ruling came during a hearing on illegal use of park land, where the court reaffirmed the park’s status as a public space. The bench criticised DHA for commercialising green areas and warned against any further encroachments. The decision aims to preserve urban green spaces and ensure their proper use for public benefit.
