Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab has announced that the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) will spend Rs 46 billion this year on various development projects across the city. In a recent statement, he highlighted the modernization of the Old City area as a top priority, with plans to provide residents with improved urban facilities and infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mayor Wahab stated that work to improve water supply in the Old City will begin within a few weeks. He also mentioned that the foundation stones for several other development projects in the area have already been laid, marking the start of a significant urban renewal initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing the issue of water theft, the mayor revealed plans to establish a special court to handle cases of illegal water diversion and theft. Both private individuals and public sector employees found involved in such activities will face legal action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese initiatives are part of our larger commitment to improving essential services, modernizing infrastructure, and ensuring accountability in city management,\u201d Mayor Wahab said. The special court for water theft is intended to act as a deterrent against illegal practices and safeguard the city\u2019s vital resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rs 46 billion budget will cover a wide range of urban development projects, including water supply improvements, road maintenance, sanitation upgrades, and other civic facilities. With a focus on the Old City, the KMC aims to enhance living conditions for residents while promoting efficient governance and transparent public service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mayor Wahab emphasized that tackling water theft is a key component of the city\u2019s development agenda, as it not only affects supply but also undermines civic trust and financial sustainability. By targeting both private and public sector offenders, the KMC aims to set a precedent for accountability and efficient resource management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, the budget and initiatives reflect the KMC\u2019s efforts to modernize Karachi, address longstanding infrastructural challenges, and ensure equitable access to essential services for all citizens. The coming months are expected to see accelerated development work, particularly in the historically underserved areas of the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
