KARACHI: City Mayor Wasim Akhtar said on Saturday that construction of roads in Clifton would be completed in two days while the construction of roads in all districts of the city was under way.

He said that the completion of 650,000 square feet roads in Block-5 of Clifton in two days would provide convenience to residents of the salubrious part of the city.

The mayor said this while inspecting the construction work in Clifton. Municipal Commissioner Dr Saif-ur-Rehman was also present during the inspection of roads.

The mayor said that priority had been set for development works in the next fiscal year.

The mayor said parks and playgrounds were public properties; therefore, no encroachments would be allowed on them.

“We need to promote healthy activities among our youth so their energy could be used in a better [direction],” he added.
