He said the Enforcement Directorate of CDA had launched the operation in collaboration with various departments near NUST University, Sector I-12, against an illegal Afghan settlement established over an extensive area.
The official said that heavy machinery was used during the operation, resulting in the demolition of numerous rooms and livestock enclosures.
