Karachi cleanup drive: After Malir, huge stones taken out from Shahrae Faisal’s gutters

KARACHI: As a part of the ongoing ‘Clean My Karachi’ drive under the Sindh government, huge stones obstructing the gutters were taken out from the vicinity of Shahrae Faisal on Monday.

Earlier today, a report was presented to Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah from Water and Sewarge Board Managing Director Asadullah.

Upon receiving the report, the chief minister directed the board’s MD to catch the culprits behind the act. One individual can lead to the arrest of an entire group, he added.

The massive clean-up drive was launched last week, under which stones obstructing gutters were found in Karachi’s Malir area.

Provincial Adviser Murtaza Wahab said that if the government continued to clean up the city and the residents continued to litter then it will not help the cause.

Meanwhile, ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s MPA Khurram Sher Zaman criticized the Sindh government, saying it got the idea to clean up the city after 12 years.

The decision to launch the drive came in a meeting held to take measures over the cleanliness issue of the city. Under the drive, 600 dumpers, shovels, tractors and 4000 workers would participate all over the city.
