Karachi: Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab has announced the commencement of a significant infrastructure overhaul across the city following the completion of a rigorous tendering and scrutiny process. This initiative will see the reconstruction of 33 critical roads and the modernization of the street lighting system. The mayor emphasized the strict quality standards required for the construction, warning that any negligence or use of non-standard materials would result in immediate blacklisting of the responsible company.

The mayor’s plan underscores a proactive commitment to improving the daily lives of Karachi citizens and ensuring efficient use of resources. The broader goal of these extensive repairs and upgrades is to foster a more connected and accessible city, reducing traffic jams and saving fuel for residents.
