Sindh Government has issued Rs. 829.642 million for the infrastructure development of Karachi’s four industrial areas. This amount is disbursed to the respective development companies for the industrial area. Industrialists disagree with the fund disbursement, protesting against the unfair distribution.
Sindh Government’s Finance Department issued a notification for the issuance of development funds for the industrial areas. According to the notification, the issued fund of Rs. 829.642 is fifty percent of the total approved Grant in Aid for the respective Development and Management Companies (DMC) of 4 industrial areas.

A source from one of the DMCs informed ProPakistani that the provincial government disbursed the fund on personal like and dislike. North Karachi Industrial area is the smallest among four industrial areas but it was given the highest amount of Rs. 252.789 million.

Administration of a city of ultimate national importance is in the hands of the most corrupt and incompetent provincial government in the country. It’s not for no reason that its inhabitants would prefer it to be a Federal City.
