KARACHI:Advisor to Chief Minister for Law Murtaza Wahab has said that in a month, 464390 tons of garbage had been lifted from six districts of Karachi with joint cooperative efforts of Solid Waste Management and District Municipal Corporations.
This he informed while holding a press conference at media corner in Sindh Assembly Building here today. He said that the garbage was disposed of at landfill sites from different areas of city in cleanup campaign and he appreciated the services of the officers and staff for joining the drive.
He also said that he was also grateful for the cooperation of citizens in the cleanliness drive which had laid to all the work being done in the right direction.
He further added that 450,000 tons of garbage was lifted from the streets and deposited at the temporary GTS points which had been set up in Sharafi Goth and then temporary GTS points would have been restored after the cleaning of city.
“Thousands of tones of garbage was picked up from the Port Security Force plot, but there was still garbage being picked up. Ali Zaidi’s clean Karachi drive had messed the Karachi and we are cleaning up his mess.
Replying to journalists questions, Wahab said that PTI should focus their work and not to do talks and we would fulfill the responsibility of cleaning the garbage. “I have strong hope that on the Prime Minister’s visit to Karachi, his party leader would surely ask him what about to your Karachi Package of Rs162 billion and what happened to university of Hyderabad and Prime Minister had promised to built a state of the art hospital in Thar?” he added.
He also said that every member of PPP believed in the rule of law. Whenever the Prime Minister called on the CM Sindh in the past, he went to meet him but now the PM did not invite the CM Sindh in his visits and meeting of matters of province. Whenever the PM would call the CM, he would surely go. Perhaps the PM did not have the answer to the questions raised by the CM, which he refused to face.
