KARACHI: Administrator Karachi Dr. Syed Saifur Rehman said that to fix issues of city, we have to work day and night. “Encroachments under bridges, flyovers should be stopped. Campaign against encroachments should be conducted on an emergency basis throughout city. All measures will be taken on an emergency basis to provide relief to citizens,” Administrator said this while making emergency visits to different areas of city.

Director General Technical Services Azhar Ali Shah, Director General Parks Junaidullah Khan, Director Anti-Encroachment Imran Rajput, Director City Warden Raja Rustam, Chief Engineer Electrical Works Abbas Shah and other officers were present.

He directed to repair potholes lying on roads and footpaths immediately. He directed that speed of uplift works should be accelerated so that condition of city can be improved as soon as possible.

Administrator said that he will make detailed visits to all seven districts of city frequently to review implementation of measures taken to improve infrastructure.

Saifur Rahman went to Teen Hatti, Liaquatabad, Federal B Area, Sohrab Goth and Surjani Town and inspected roads, footpaths, green belts, chowrangis, service road and street lights at various places and issued instructions to officers on spot.

He said that district Central is big and important district of Karachi where various major roads are located and traffic of hundreds of vehicles continues day and night.

“Therefore, to make these roads motorable, wherever there are potholes or broken footpaths, they should be repaired on an emergency basis and encroachments should be removed from sides of roads and green belt,” he added.

“Trees and plants are essential to deal with climate change. All plants available in KMC nurseries should be used. Whatever steps are necessary will be taken to make Karachi beautiful and green.
