KARACHI: Karachi Mayor Waseem Akhtar said on Saturday that Karachi’s development needs to be carried out urgently; therefore, Sindh Chief Minister (CM) will have to come on roads along with him
and observe the city problems.
He asked the citizens not to throw garbage into drains, but keep it at garbage dumping sites.
“If there had been no damage in
infrastructure since last eight year
s, I would have not
to pay visit to smashed drains,” the mayor said while talkin
g to media after his visit to PIDC drain. Director General Shahab Anwar and Municipal Services Senior Director Samiullah Khan were also present on the occasion.
He said that he was gradually resolving the city’s issues as roads and
infrastructure had been badly destroyed. “Rs 600 billion were issued in the previous tenure, where has that money has gone,” the mayor said. Akhtar further said, “Karachi is my city, but I don’t have sufficient funds to resolve its issues.”
