KARACHI: The Sindh High Court on Monday issued notices to respondents on a petition against alleged corruption in Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC).

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf leader Faisal Vawda through his counsel moved the SHC and contended that the funds worth billions of rupees have been granted to the KMC during the last 20 months for development of the provincial metropolis, but he contended that the overall situation of the city remained unchanged.

Impleading Mayor Wasim Akhtar and others as respondents, the petitioner alleged that there was corruption in every section of KMC and pleaded to issue directive to National Accountability Bureau about an inquiry in this regard.
