Sindh’s Road Rehabilitation Efforts
The rainy season has ravaged the road infrastructure of Karachi, prompting the provincial government and local administration to set aside Rs. 3.5 billion for its repairs.
City administrator Murtaza Wahab stated during a review meeting:
Due to the effects of climate change, there has been more than usual rainfall across the world, for which no country, including Pakistan, is prepared. Karachi’s roads will be reconstructed at a cost of Rs3.5 billion.
Sharing the breakdown of funds, Wahab specified that the government will spend Rs. 2.5 billion on road repair, and allocate the remaining for the flood victims. He added that the government has 157 new projects in the pipeline to optimize the city infrastructure.
