Karachi should be given to Pakistan Army for five years for improvements, says top industrialist

KARACHI: The country's economic and financial hub, Karachi, should be given to the Pakistan Army for at least five years for infrastructural improvements, a top industrialist said Tuesday.

"Only under the supervision of the Pakistan Army is it possible to resolve Karachi's infrastructure and other problems," Siraj Qasim Teli, the business magnate, said.

"If Karachi is to be improved, it should be handed over to the Army for at least five years," he added.

Speaking of the city's repair work, especially after the torrential rains in late July that wreaked a havoc on its infrastructure, the businessman said it was a welcome development to see the federal government doing something good for Karachi after 20 to 25 years.

The difference is clear from a two-day clean-up campaign, he remarked, referring to the work of Pakistan Army's troops after Prime Minister Imran Khan directed the military to send assistance.

Teli, the chairman of the Businessmen Group (BMG) and former president of the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), added that those who have neglected Karachi since the 1990s "deserve no sympathy".

"The local administration has failed to alleviate the problems facing Karachi," he said. "The residents of Karachi, as well as the business and industrial communities, have lost faith in the local administration."

The services of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and the Frontier Works Organization (FWO) should also be sought for infrastructure reconstruction, the industrialist suggested, adding that the task of improving Karachi's dilapidated road network should also be given to them.

"The work on Karachi's cleanliness can be maintained on a permanent basis only under the Army's supervision," he added, warning that "the catastrophic situation in Karachi will affect the country's economy" if it was not handed over to the military.

Towards the end of last month, the Pakistan Army was called to help the local administration in managing and dealing with the urban flooding crisis in the metropolis.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the "Army [was] called to assist civil administration for managing the urban flooding situation in Karachi".

The decision to provide assistance in relief activities in Karachi was made after PM Imran's orders a day earlier to send the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to Karachi. Sources had informed Geo News at the time that the government also sought the Pakistan Army's services for the cleaning of Karachi.

An emergency approval from the Cabinet was obtained through a circulation in this regard.

A day before that, the premier had vowed that his PTI-led federal government would not abandon the people of Karachi at a time when the city grappled with the dual challenges of coronavirus and the aftermath of the recent heavy rains.

Har jgha army ko na ghusao

Karachi ko ya province bana do ya Federal Territory so that government can focus and proper funding would be given to Karachi. Army ka kya lena dena hai?? Yes army help kre qabza mafia k khilaaf
 
.
And army should be handed over to singers? Everyone need to come out megalomania and need to work in its own domain[period]
 
.
Constitution is very clear

  • If the Provinces cannot provide the basic services , then the Prime Minister and Federal Authorities override and take over in best interest of citizens of Pakistan
The Autonomous nature of Province's control can always be "overridden" cancelled if Federal Authorities find it is against National Interest of Pakistan

Current fiscal year

  • Sindh was provided 8 billion dollars . Not Rupee but Dollars
  • Additional 1.5 Billion Dollars was given for Karachi

9,500,000,000 Dollars


How much does it costs to rent cranes and cleaning machine ??? Few millions
How much does it costs to hire labor to clean up ? Few millions

Pakistani Labour works for Rupee !!!! You all know how much money is 9.5 billion dollars ??!!!

How much may be cost of clean up , with rental equipment ?
2-3 Million Dollars?
3,000,000 ?

YOU ARE RENTING MACHINES FOR FEW WEEKS

0.03% of budget not even 1%

Where is 99.97% of SINDH budget ?

Make Karachi a federal territory like Islamabad.
I think if we can put our regional biases aside for the sake of interest as a Pakistani. I would suggest that we do census and create representation in sindh province based on that so that people sitting in interior sindh can stop taking benefit from it. They don't see any interest in developing the metropolis.
For once ...

When there are no Karachiites or Punjabis to blame for their problems, the masses in Sindh will turn against PPP.

The problem is we need to split the provinces to smaller controllable areas / zones

Karachi houses all citizens of Pakistan it's time we see it as a Pakistani City that it is and a Mega Metro area

Split Governance so that each zone with population get their own budget

If Sindhi waderas would have had shown an ounce of interest in developing Karachi, people in Khi would have been satisfied

But they DESTROYED Karachi litearlly like they did with villages.

In all honesty it looks embarrassing for Pakistan, as Karachi is the most known historic city connecting ancient trade routes across 1,000 of years

The ugly management of city , makes Pakistan look like a backward country
You can have the gardens in Islamabad , or the fountains in Lahore but at the end of day
people look and judge you based on your "PORT CITY"

Japan has Tokoyo
Koreas has Seoul
China has Bejing
USA has Los Angeles , Miami , New York

Karachi is Pakistan's Top Port city


How Karachi looks is how the world sees Pakistan as , it is simple as that !!!

The WORLD VIEWS YOU THRU KARACHI

My opinion is that thrash this 18th amendment garbage. Bring a 20th amendment to replace it with 18th and local bodies should be funded for development and related issues.

Like I said a person from Nazimabad don't know what is going on in the street of Larkana nor does a person from Mirpurkhas knows the issues faced by people living in Dastagir.

And let Karachi stay part of Sindh so no victim card for ppp. A perfect political solution.

Its just a matter of census and the political representation will change and the metropolis will be empowered. Then come other reforms if that representation does not do the job. We should refrain from making boundary changes as frequently as we think of doing. If we create a new province every 5 to 10 years it will become a norm and whoever is dominant force will resort to that to change the political dynamics. Let sindh remain whole but let the census and division of representation decide the future off Sindh.
