Rs200m road infrastructure for Lyari: Kamal
City Nazim, Syed Mustafa Kamal, has announced a package of Rs200 million for road infrastructure in Lyari while inaugurating a 33-inch diameter water pipeline that will provide an additional six million gallons (MGD) of water to Lyari on a daily basis. Kamal said that if Lyari needed some more funds they would be provided, adding that, after this additional six MGD , Lyari’s water quota now has been enhanced to 20 MGD.
This was stated by him while addressing thousands of Lyariites on during the inauguration of the water pipeline on Thursday. The project extends from Askari Park to Mera Naka via Sindh Hotel Bridge Nakra Piri along the Lyari Expressway. He said that the unique thing of the water pipeline was that no one would be able to steal water, while in other parts of Karachi water was unfortunately being stolen. For anyone to try to steal water, they would have to go all the way up the Lyari Expressway which was an uphill task, he maintained. Town Nazim, Malik Fayaz, speaking on the occasion, said that he was thankful to the city Nazim for providing water to Lyari and that a long-awaited demand of Lyariites had been resolved.
Fayaz said that when he had gone to the office of the city Nazim, the latter accepted his demand immediately without any hesitation, adding that today the Nazim had fulfilled his promise. When Kamal went to Lyari to inaugurate the water pipeline, he was welcomed and garlanded by the residents of Lyari. He said that the city government’s initiation of development works worth billions of rupees had nothing to do with votes or elections. He said the Haq Parast leadership was serving the city without any discrimination and had addressed those problems which remained unresolved for the last 60 years.
Kamal said that he listened to the problems of the people and tried to resolve them in a concrete manner, stressing that if further projects were needed in Lyari, they would be delivered. While referring to the Lyari Town Nazim, Kamal said whenever ‘Malik Sahib’ came to his office with problems of the people, he had made his utmost effort to provide relief. Replying to a question, Kamal said that they had controlled the equal distribution of water to the city and more improvement was needed in this sector for which efforts were underway.
He said he had issued necessary instructions to the officials of KWSB in this regard.
City Nazim, Syed Mustafa Kamal, talking to The News, said encroachments in the city are no doubt a hurdle in development, but there would be no compromise on any obstacles in the projects of the city government. He further announced that, from now onwards, there would be no Bazaars of the main roads of the city, as it caused serious problems in the flow of traffic.
