Karachi, The Director General of Karachi Development Authority (KDA), Syed Shujaat Hussain, has undertaken an extensive tour of various development sites across Karachi, where significant infrastructure projects are underway, thanks to the funding from the Sindh government. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance the city’s industrial and public amenities, signaling a move towards sustainable urban development.
According to Karachi Development Authority, Hussain’s inspection included the Sarjani Industrial Zone near Northern Bypass, which spans 200 acres. This zone is set to feature industrial plots ranging from 1000 to 2000 yards within a secure boundary wall, distinguishing it as a premier industrial enclave in Karachi. Chief Engineer KDA Tariq Rafi briefed the Director General on the progress, highlighting the rapid advancement of construction and boundary wall erection, aimed at fostering a conducive environment for business and commerce.
Moreover, the Director General reviewed upgrades to the city’s sewerage network along 4-K Chowrangi to Gulshan Mimar road, emphasizing the need for expedited completion with increased manpower and resources. Hussain also evaluated the renovation efforts of five city parks, including the Azizabad Lal Qila ground, underscoring the administration’s commitment to enhancing Karachi’s green spaces for public health and recreation. The refurbishment of these parks is projected to cost approximately 4 million rupees and span two years.
Additionally, the ongoing development of the Karimabad underpass was inspected, with measures being implemented to ensure pedestrian accessibility, particularly in anticipation of the increased foot traffic during the month of Ramadan.
These inspections and directives from the Director General of KDA reflect a proactive approach to urban management, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure integrity, public amenities, and industrial growth. As these projects progress, they promise to deliver substantial benefits to the residents and businesses of Karachi, aligning with the city’s broader developmental goals.
