The Mayor said that additional works are done for Muharram and Rabi-ul-Awwal and such works will be carried out this year too to facilitate the citizens.

He said that like Muharram, arrangements for Rabi-ul-Awwal shall also be made in excellent manner especially those related to KMC.

He said that everyone knew the problems of Karachi as people from all provinces reside here and the problems could be solved only with the support of provincial and federal government. He urged the ulema kiram to play their important role in solving the city problems.
