Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead
 

 

   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



Since the establishment of SHEHRI, it has been successful in achieving the following;
 

          A small sampling of our efforts in the public interest includes:

  • Demolition of Glass Towers illegal encroachment on the notified road widening of Clifton Road. This action saved the road from being constricted.

  • Saving of 480-acre Gutter Baghicha Park on Manghopir Road. This is the largest open recreational space in a low income congested area of approximately one million inhabitants and is the lungs of Lyari.

  • Demolition of apartment structure Costa Livina in amenity Bagh-e-Ibne Qasim, Clifton. This action stopped similar illegal allotments. CDGK has now developed the park.

  • Stopping commercialisation and sale of 11 KTC & 15 SRTC bus-depot plots in Karachi and Sindh. Today these plots are to be used by the CDGK for intercity bus terminals and other related activity hereby removing the illegal bus terminals from the roads of Karachi.

  • Saving of a 5-acre park in North Karachi. Sixty thousand people of the area can now access this open space.

  • Establishment of the ‘Oversee Committee’ of the KBCA and a ‘Public Information Counter’

  • Saving of 62-acre Kidney Hill in Karachi Cooperative Housing Societies Union inclusive of 18 acre notified KWSB installations.

  • Participation in numerous government committees and assistance to the judiciary.

    Over the years the efforts of Shehri have been recognized by superior courts and it has often been called as amicus curiae (friend of the court) in cases dealing with built environment violations.

    Conviction is worthless unless it is converted into conduct.
