The Pasban Democratic Party (PDP) has announced that the severe and multifaceted problems paralyzing the city will not be solved by “mere statements,” but require an “organized public struggle” and effective pressure to bring about meaningful change.
This announcement was made on Monday during the annual review meeting of the party’s Karachi Advisory Council held at the Pasban Public Secretariat. Participants expressed deep concern over the persistent challenges faced by citizens, including chronic traffic mismanagement, severe water and electricity shortages, and the deteriorating state of public infrastructure.
The council highlighted the daily hardships faced by residents, such as dilapidated roads, widespread encroachments, lack of adequate public transport, and a consequent rise in accidents. Presiding over the meeting, PDP Karachi President Abdul Hakeem Quaid stated that an organized public movement is “inevitable” to resolve these long-standing issues.
In response, the Advisory Council pledged to strengthen the party’s organizational structure across the city, with plans to expand its setup down to the union council level and intensify its public outreach campaign.
Furthermore, Pasban’s Vice Chairman Azam Minhas emphasized the need for “an integrated system for the prompt redressal of citizens’ grievances.” The meeting concluded with an agreement to enhance the scope and effectiveness of the Pasban Helpline to better serve the residents.
The party reiterated its commitment to intensify its advocacy for the rights of the people of Karachi and to continue highlighting these critical civic issues on all available forums.
