Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab has directed the completion of 154 ongoing development schemes across the city by June 30, underlining the administration’s resolve to fast-track urban infrastructure work ahead of the monsoon season.
Chairing a high-level review meeting of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation’s (KMC) Engineering Department, the mayor emphasized timely execution of projects under both the District Annual Development Programme (ADP) and the Provincial ADP. The directive is aimed at ensuring improved civic services and infrastructure reliability for Karachi residents.
According to Director General Technical Services Tariq Mughal, 80 of the ongoing schemes are being implemented under the District ADP, while 74 fall under the Provincial ADP. He added that 224 schemes have already been completed, reflecting progress in various sectors.
Mughal also briefed the meeting that 109 additional projects have passed the tendering stage, with award letters due to be issued soon. Work on these schemes is expected to begin shortly.
The meeting was attended by Municipal Commissioner S. M. Afzal Zaidi, Financial Advisor Gulzar Abro, and other senior officials of the KMC.
Reaffirming his commitment to development, Mayor Wahab said the administration’s focus is on delivering essential services and modern infrastructure through transparent and timely implementation of schemes.
The city government plans to intensify oversight of project execution to meet the June deadline, particularly in view of expected seasonal challenges and public demand for improved facilities.
