Karachi`s beaches

Published March 7, 2009

KARACHI`s sea is under the control of a number of city districts like the city district government, DHA, Cantonment Board, etc. All these should work as a unit to improve the facilities provided for tourists who visit the sea.

The first step towards improvement is to clear the water. Since the shore contains waste materials that are drained out by the industries, the natural appearance has become unpleasant and has also harmed the underwater habitants such as prawns.

There should be a system to maintain cleanliness around the sea shores. Also, stringent security measures should be ensured so that tourists visit the beaches without fear.

Volunteer guides must be hired for tourists. These factors will help increase tourist traffic to the beaches of Karachi and will also help to generate revenues in the long run, which will also benefit the economy of the country.
