KARACHI: Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab has said that the Pakistan Peoples Party believes in the services of the people and the KMC is taking steps for timely completion of development projects in the city.

Addressing the opening ceremony of newly constructed roads in the Mewa Shah Graveyard area, Mayor Wahab said neither ‘Patang’ nor ‘Tarazoo’ did work during their tenures but the PPP can solve problems of the people of Karachi.

“In 2024, we put KMC on its feet while in the year 2025, projects such as Korangi Causeway, Malir Expressway, new water lines and all development works would be completed,” he said.

He said the PPP believes in the politics of work, and this project, worth millions of rupees, has been completed for the welfare of people.

He said that when he took over as Karachi mayor, there were Rs13 billion pension dues and today the KMC had overcome all its losses. He claimed that in next two years, people would know what PPP would have done for them.

He said the journey will continue in the same way. “We are also repairing the sewage treatment plant in Gutter Baghicha and setting up RO plant considering the suffering of the people, which will be inaugurated soon,” he added.

A large number of people, he said, also visited Garhi Khuda Bux Bhutto to pay homage to Benazir Bhutto Shaheed on December 27 for her services to the masses.

Deputy Mayor Karachi Salman Abdullah Murad, Parliamentary Leader of Pakistan People’s Party in the KMC Council Karamullah Waqasi, Deputy Parlia­mentary Leader Dil Muhammad, Jumman Darwan and other elected representatives were also present on the occasion.
