Murad Ali Shah took the policy decision at the CM House on Wednesday during a meeting to discuss the progress of and difficulties in the project for reviving the regional public transit system.
CM Shah clarified that all the encroachments that had appeared along the KCR route would be razed and the families who settled there before 2013 would be compensated before the project’s inauguration later this year.
