The Mayor said citizens enjoy this facility with their kids, I enjoyed flying through the zip line and I have already landed in Karachi as a mayor and my goal is the development and prosperity of Karachi.
He said that Safari Park was once in a state of disrepair, in 2015-16 law enforcement agencies raided here and during that raid a lot of things came out of here, we ourselves have spoiled the splendor of Karachi.
The PPP government has started similar development works in seven districts of Karachi. A week ago Iqbal Park was inaugurated in Federal B Area, yesterday the State of the Art Star Sports Complex in Sherpao Colony Landhi was opened to the citizens now we are going to build five more playgrounds and parks in the city so that the people enjoy recreational activities in a peaceful environment. He said that a canteen is also being constructed in the safari park soon.
In response to a question, Mayor Karachi said that we have a tradition that whoever suppresses is suppressed. The fire that broke out in RJ Mall yesterday is not within the limits of the KMC.
The staff of Faisal Cantonment did not come to the rescue and extinguishing work, the fire brigade and rescue 1122 staff from KMC extinguished the fire, the map of the building in which the fire broke out was also passed and regularized by the Cantonment Board Faisal and the FIR of yesterday’s incident was filed in the name of fire brigade and rescue 1122.
Congratulations to the police that the FIR is registered against the staff of the departments who saved the lives of 45 people. Zia Muhyiddin flyover at Johar Chowrangi was constructed, underpass was constructed and service line is also being constructed by us but Cantonment Board receives all taxes and revenue from these areas.
All the responsibility should not be put on the KMC, first it must be seen which area is under the administrative control of this institution.
He said the 18th amendment was unanimously approved by Pakistan Muslim League-N, ANP, Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan and JUI, and then now in the amendment what could be the reasons for the change.
Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab said that during the fire incident yesterday, there was also a sad incident which was deeply saddened to see that an unconscious person was brought to the 1122 ambulance but the volunteers of Chipa snatched him and put in their ambulance.
He said that it is condemnable if the Sindh government ambulance was not there, then this unconscious person could have been taken by Chipa ambulance, but such an act is cheap fame and branding and not a service. He said that in this regard, he will talk to the management of Chipa so that they stay away from such actions.
