PM to unveil “Specific Program” for Karachi during his expected visit to city

Islamabad September 01 (Online): Prime Minister Imran Khan will share details of the “Specific Program” prepared by the federal government for Karachi during his visit to Karachi on Friday, said Information Minister Shibli Faraz on Tuesday.

The information minister while address a press conference in Islamabad said the federal government has prepared a specific program for Karachi,

He said a strategy has also been prepared to implement the plan in Karachi and the federal government has also taken the representatives of the city and the provincial government on board.

It is to mention here that the people in Karachi had to face a flood-like situation after the recent rains in the city. Several roads were submerged and the areas were inundated with water.

At least 41 people were killed in rain-related incidents. The monsoon spell has broken a 90-year record in August, said the Met office.

The provincial government of the PPP came under severe criticism by the rival parties for its alleged failure to contain the damage following the heavy rains.

Shibli Faraz said he believes that the situation in Karachi suggests either the government doesn’t take the city seriously or it is incapable of dealing with problems.

He said the premier is “very clear” and he wants to resolve the problems of Karachi while respecting the mandate of the provincial government.

The minister mentioned the water crisis and transport issues in Karachi in his press conference and said the PTI government has a plan to resolve the problems.
