New City Nazim Karachi Syed Mustafa Kamal on Monday took oath as a new head of the City District Government Karachi (CDGK) here at a simple but impressive ceremony.
District & Session Judge South Agha Rafiq Ahmed Khan administered oath from Syed Mustafa Kamal, who won the City Nazim election with the support of MQM-backed Haq Parast panel, which had registered a landslide victory in third phase of the local government elections on October 06, 2005.
To express solidarity with the earthquake victims, the oath taking ceremony was held in simple way at Bara Dari Bagh-e-Jinnah (Polo Ground), which was attended by federal & provincial ministers, MNAs, senators, MPAs, bureaucrats, foreign diplomats, notables of the city and others.
Following the oath-taking ceremony, in a brief talk with newsmen, New City Nazim Karachi Mustafa Kamal announced Rs 20 million for earthquake-affected people of northern Pakistan from the discretionary fund of the City Nazim.
Outlining the priorities, Mustafa said that six to seven priority areas, including water, sewerage, health & education, transport, sanitation and business infrastructure would be focussed upon to bring improvement in lives of citizens, so they could feel the change themselves.
"Pray for me, so that I will be able to serve people in accordance with the trust they have conferred on me," he added.
