A Karachi citizen has moved court for provision of Rs178.7 million in damages over BRT Red Line accident.
According to the petition, the incident occurred after the affected citizen returned to Pakistan in 2025 after performing Hajj.
Counsel for the petitioner argued that barriers placed along University Road lacked reflectors and warning signs during BRT Red Line construction, creating unsafe conditions for motorists and pedestrians.
The petition alleges that the accident resulted in the loss of the petitioner’s eye and caused serious facial injuries.
The petitioner further contends that the BRT Red Line project failed to implement adequate public safety measures during construction, placing road users at unnecessary risk.
The court has been requested to award compensation for the petitioner’s medical costs, permanent disability, and other losses arising from the alleged negligence.
