Karachi: The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) Commissioner Samiuddin Siddiqui inspected the drain cleaning works in various parts of the city, according to a news report. Siddiqui highlighted the importance of drain-cleaning for the city’s upkeep and labelled it as a fundamental issue that needs addressing before the monsoon season starts.
Siddique also said that machinery and manpower was significantly increased for drain cleaning in areas such as Orangi, Gujjar, PECHS, Hijrat Colony, Songal, and Manzoor Colony because of the precarious situation of open drains in these areas. He toured the area and said that preparations should be done before monsoon so that problems associated with overflowing can be inhibited.
