KARACHI: Commenting on the Sindh budget, North Karachi Association of Trade and Industry (NKATI) President Faisal Moiz Khan stated that the province of Sindh needs a liberal industrial policy. He suggested that budgetary allocations should be made for all seven industrial zones of the city.
The NKATI President emphasized the need for a Combined Effluent Treatment Plant, describing it as essential for the industry. He also urged that all seven industrial zones of Karachi should be included in the Safe City Project.
Faisal further called for the immediate construction of the Hyderabad-Sukkur Motorway, highlighting that the project would enhance economic connectivity throughout Sindh, including Karachi. Despite its estimated cost of approximately Rs. 144 billion, it is surprising that the federal government has allocated only Rs. 15 billion for the project, which he said reflects the federal government’s lack of attention to development projects in Sindh.
He also criticized the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB), calling it a hub of corruption, and stressed that the issue must be addressed. Lastly, he urged that development projects be launched immediately to rapidly improve Karachi’s deteriorating infrastructure.
