Karachi: Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab conducted a late-night visit to various areas of the city to review the prevailing civic situation. Accompanied by officials from the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation, Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation, and other relevant departments, the mayor visited different areas including I.I Chundrigar Road, Kharadar, Mithadar, and the Old City Area. He inspected ongoing beautification, road improvement, and other development works at various locations and received detailed briefings from concerned officials regarding the progress of these projects.

According to Karachi Metropolitan Corporation, Mayor Wahab also reviewed the condition of roads, streets, footpaths, and other civic facilities. He inspected cleanliness and municipal arrangements at different locations and directed concerned officials to ensure no compromise on the quality of development and rehabilitation works. Immediate measures were urged wherever citizens faced difficulties.

Mayor Wahab stated that the primary purpose of the late-night walk was to assess the city’s situation according to ground realities and listen directly to citizens’ complaints. He emphasized that it was not possible to fully assess the city’s problems from an office; thus, personal visits to different areas were necessary to review the situation for immediate and effective measures to resolve public issues.

The mayor assured that resolving citizens’ problems was their responsibility and promised not to rest until public issues were resolved. He stressed that officials and staff of municipal institutions must fulfill their responsibilities to provide better civic facilities, and no negligence in addressing public complaints would be tolerated.

During the visit, the mayor met citizens at various locations, inquiring about their problems and complaints. Citizens informed him of difficulties related to roads, streets, cleanliness, and other municipal matters. The mayor immediately issued necessary instructions to the concerned officials and directed them to take practical measures for resolving these issues.

Monitoring of ongoing development and beautification works in different parts of Karachi will continue, the mayor noted. He directed officials to complete ongoing projects within the stipulated time, ensure work quality, and accelerate practical measures aimed at providing maximum civic facilities to the citizens.
