KARACHI (92 News) – The Supreme Court (SC) on Monday ordered removal of all advertising billboards from Karachi.
A bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan Gulzar Ahmed was heard a case pertaining to illegal installation of billboards on public and private properties as well as roads across the metropolis.
