Mega Rs. 25 Billion Road Project Kicks Off in Karachi

Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has approved Rs. 25 billion for the reconstruction of Karachi’s roads and streets, targeting 315 internal streets and 60 major roads. The CM also emphasized proper streetlight installation across the city.

Karachi’s road network has been badly affected by recent rains, leaving many streets full of potholes and dangerous for commuters. CM Murad stressed the need to speed up development work so that residents do not face further difficulties.

A meeting chaired by CM Murad today discussed the reconstruction plans. Local government Minister Nasir Shah, Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab, Chief Secretary Asif Haider Shah, and other senior officials were present. CM Murad instructed authorities to approve all internal street projects quickly and ensure a proper drainage system is included.

Mayor Wahab highlighted that 315 internal streets were in poor condition. The CM also ordered improvements on the 60 main roads. “Funds are available; what we need is fast and quality work for the people,” CM Murad said.

The CM praised the mayor for inaugurating reverse-osmosis water plants in Keamari and stressed that citizens should have access to clean water, well-maintained roads, and good law and order. He noted that traffic accidents have decreased since the Sindh Safe City Project began.

Earlier this year, Mayor Wahab had requested Rs. 25 billion from the federal government to strengthen the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) and ensure city development. With this new approval, Karachi residents can expect faster road repairs and safer streets in the coming months.
