Nasla Tower Affectees Renew Appeal for Justice, Compensation, and Housing Rehabilitation


Karachi: The affectees of the demolished Nasla Tower have once again appealed to the Government of Pakistan and relevant authorities for justice, adequate compensation, and the opportunity to rebuild their lives after years of displacement.

In a public appeal, the residents stated that they had invested their lifetime savings in purchasing homes at Nasla Tower through what they believed to be lawful means. They emphasized that despite the passage of several years since the building's demolition, many families remain homeless and are still waiting for compensation and rehabilitation.

The affected families maintained that they had committed no wrongdoing and had purchased their apartments in good faith. However, they said they have borne the consequences of circumstances beyond their control. According to the appeal, hundreds of families continue to live in rented accommodation while their children await the chance to return to a permanent home.

The residents have urged the President of Pakistan, the Prime Minister, the Chief Ministers of Sindh and Punjab, the Mayor of Karachi, relevant government institutions, the Association of Builders and Developers (ABAD), the business community, and philanthropists to take notice of their plight.

They stressed that the issue extends beyond the demolition of a building, describing it as a matter of dignity, livelihood, and the fundamental right to adequate housing for thousands of citizens.

The affectees have called for fair compensation that would enable them to purchase or construct new homes and restore stability to their families. They have also appealed to the public to amplify their voices by sharing their message so that it reaches the concerned authorities.
