Karachi: ‘I Own Karachi’, a non-profit organisation formed to address ‘small and less-time-taking’ tasks for the betterment of the city, has demanded the government to launch the mega development projects planned for the metropolis on an immediate basis, according to a news report shared in a national daily on August 27.
The organisation’s spokesperson also requested for the appointment of a known figure or business person for the post of Administrator Karachi. These demands were put forth during the organisation’s core committee meeting held on Wednesday (August 26). The meeting members also discussed the dilapidated condition of public infrastructure seen witnessed in the city in the wake of the recent, heavy downpour.
Members of the ‘I OWN Karachi’ core committee also discussed the way forward following the expiration of the tenure of the city’s current mayor and expressed their concerns over the expected appointment of a bureaucrat for the office.
The organisation’s spokesperson said that the problems faced by the residents of Karachi could only be addressed under the leadership of a competent candidate for the role. He further added that the ‘city that generates 67% of the total taxes cannot be ignored’.
