Karachi: The Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) on Saturday urged the Sindh government to set up rain emergency centres in the city, a news source reported. In this regard, KCCI President Agha Shahab Ahmed Khan advised for the establishment of well-equipped and active rain emergency centres in all five districts of the metropolis.
Khan stated that workers from the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC), K Electric (KE), and the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KW&SB) should be deployed at these centres in order to provide round the clock assistance to the public and to quickly resolve all rain-related issues. He added that the centres should particularly come equipped with water pumping machines for quickly clearing standstill waters from the streets, which disrupts the flow of traffic during the Monsoon season.
In light of the torrential rains that hit Karachi on Friday evening, the KCCI president advised the KMC, KE, and KW&SB officials to make coordinated efforts for resolving the grievances of the public.
