Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab today laid the foundation stone for a major infrastructure project in Lyari, under which the construction and rehabilitation of Mirza Adam Khan Road has been initiated at a cost of 37 crore 80 lakh rupees.
The Mayor, who was accompanied by Deputy Mayor Salman Abdullah Murad and other council members, stated the project’s objectives, saying that its purpose is to provide better travel facilities to the citizens.
Part of a broader initiative under “Package 03”, this development project includes the construction of a 4.48-kilometer-long dual carriageway. The 26-foot-wide road is designed to improve traffic flow in the area.
A major component of this scheme is the improvement of the local drainage system, which includes the installation of a 4.61-kilometer-long and 4-foot-wide drainage line to better manage rainwater.
Furthermore, the work will also include laying a new 18-inch diameter sewerage line.
This project, described as a significant development for District South extending from Garden to Mirza Pur Road, is a joint venture of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation and the Local Government of Sindh.
Barrister Murtaza Wahab said that the infrastructure in Lyari is being developed on modern lines and the development of underdeveloped areas is the administration’s top priority.
He assured that quality and transparency will not be compromised in the project’s implementation, and stressed that the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation is actively working to provide modern and quality facilities to the residents.
