KARACHI  –  Kararchi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab has said that the journey of Karachi’s development and public service will continue uninterrupted under all circumstances. Difficulties and obstacles may arise during development work, but the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) team and the Pakistan Peoples Party remain committed to resolving the problems faced by the people of the city. 

He said that the city’s resources are held in trust for the people of Karachi and will continue to be spent transparently on public welfare and the provision of basic facilities.  He added that any mistreatment of institutions, officers and employees serving the city and its citizens would not be tolerated, and legal action would be taken against those interfering in official affairs. He expressed these views during a visit to the ongoing development works on Natha Khan Chakoor Nallah Road and the road connecting Natha Khan to Pehlwan Goth.  Metropolitan Commissioner KMC Abrar Jafar and other relevant KMC officers accompanied him during the visit.

Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab received a detailed briefing on the incident that occurred the previous day and directed the concerned officials to ensure that development work continued without any obstruction.  He said that the KMC team was working day and night to reduce the difficulties faced by citizens and was completing projects that would facilitate transportation and provide relief in their daily lives.

He said that development projects currently underway in different parts of the city, including Chakoor Nallah Expressway, were part of a coordinated effort to improve Karachi’s basic infrastructure.

The mayor said that investments had been made over the past few years in various projects, including Natha Khan Chakoor Nallah Road, Pehlwan Goth Road, Zia Mohyeddin Flyover, Palestine Underpass and Manzoor Colony Underpass, to address the difficulties faced by residents of the respective areas. 

Traffic congestion and transportation difficulties had remained a persistent concern for citizens in these localities. The government and KMC had therefore taken practical measures to resolve these issues.

He said that the primary objective of these development projects was to provide relief to citizens and improve connectivity between different parts of the city. Announcing another important initiative concerning Natha Khan Chakoor Nallah Road, Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab said that an additional entry point and connecting road were being constructed to link the road towards Habib University.

Appreciating the performance of the KMC team, mayor Karachi said that the corporation’s officers and employees were rendering valuable services to ease the difficulties faced by citizens. Projects such as Chakoor Nallah Road reflected the commitment to providing maximum facilities to the public despite limited resources.
