KARACHI: Administrator Karachi, Sindh government’s Spokesman and CM Advisor on Law Barrister Murtaza Wahab on Sunday said that the future will be better if we improve our environment.
“Our future generations want a clean and green Karachi. Keep the politics aside and serve the people in good faith, every political party has the right to unite with other political parties. Whether the PPP will ally with any other political party in the July 24 local bodies elections in Karachi will be decided in the coming days,” the Administrator expressed these views while inaugurating the Mir Karam Ali Talpur Road Saddar after the beautification and rehabilitation.
He said that when Mir Karam Ali Talpur Road was littered with stones, no one objected, adding that as soon as we started the construction work, the PTI tried to give the impression to the citizens that the PPP was occupying this road.
“Today it has been opened to the public by creating an open space where people can come and spend some time in the open air,” he added. The Administrator said that on the occasion of World Environment Day, plants are also being planted here today so that they can be transformed into shady trees.
He said that that load shedding is a major problem and we should also focus on solar and wind power generation projects. He said that citizens are worried about load shedding and I expect the federal government to address this issue as soon as possible.
Barrister Murtaza Wahab lauded the performance of KMC’s Parks Department and said that the exemplary performance of the Parks Department in the last few months was commendable. He said that projects worth billions of rupees were underway in Karachi including water, sewerage, roads, parks and open space projects and the government was doing in good faith.
On this occasion, Administrator Karachi and other guests also planted trees in Mir Karam Ali Talpur Road and Empress Market Garden. Responding to a question from media persons, he said that the Sindh Cabinet has given approval for payment of dues of retired employees of KMC and approval has also been sought from the Cabinet Sub-Committee. “Now Sindh Chief Minister will approve it and resolve this issue, in this regard I stand by my promise,” he added.
