A Chinese company has shown interest in completing K-IV, Karachi’s fourth bulk water supply canal—a project started eighteen years ago that has cost up to Rs14 billion so far and is nowhere near done.

China #Gezhouba Group’s #Pakistan executive general manager Shi Yu has written the Sindh government offering help with the K-IV. “[We] noticed that … things are not going smoothly because the design is not feasible,” he wrote. They expressed interest in “participating” by providing design and construction support.

The Chinese company is referring to a development in K-IV that has put considerable pressure on the Sindh government as it tries to complete the project, a 121km canal from #Kinjhar lake.

When this government took over it had the design of K-IV checked by an independent engineering company. That company produced a damning report that there were serious design flaws

The Chinese letter was sent to the CM’s secretariat on Dec 25. It was sent by January 17 to the secretary of the local government department for “necessary action”.

I hope this does not work out. Its a waste to build a gated community that only the rich can afford. There is so much more that can be done with these islands.

This is one of the ways to extract money from their interest bearing accounts and give it to construction industry which supports many people.

Mixed use development that includes both private property development, as well as publicly accessible areas, would be acceptable.

What I would hate is an island for the filthy rich, with the "riff-raff" kept out. Knowing the attitude of the Pakistani "elite" I wouldn't put it past them to try to do just that.
