He further stated that the people of Karachi have chosen to support such development work instead of resorting to protests and sit-ins.
This announcement comes as Karachi is currently facing its monsoon season, which often leads to flooding in many parts of the city.
The construction of the stormwater drain is expected to ease the effects of heavy rainfall and prevent flooding in the affected areas.
The Sindh government has been under constant scrutiny for its failure to address the water management and drainage systems issues in Karachi.
However, the current development work on the stormwater drain is seen as a positive step towards improving the city’s infrastructure and reducing the impact of natural disasters.
The announcement by Murtaza Wahab has been welcomed by the residents of Karachi, who have expressed their support for the government’s efforts to tackle the issue of water management.
Many have also expressed relief at the prospect of a functioning drainage system in their area.
As the construction work continues, the people of Karachi will be closely monitoring the project’s progress and hoping for a successful outcome.
