KARACHI, Senator Waqar Mehdi, Special Assistant to the Chief Minister of Sindh for the Chief Minister Inspection, Inquiries, and Implementation Team (CMIIIT) Department and General Secretary of the PPP Sindh chapter, has said that nine mega projects, collectively worth billions of rupees, are currently under construction in Korangi District. Once completed, these projects will significantly improve public amenities and simplify daily life for residents. He highlighted that the 136 ongoing development projects managed by the Karachi Development Authority (KDA) across the city are not mere symbolic initiatives, as seen in other provinces, but are thoughtfully designed to address Karachi's specific needs and serve its people effectively.
Senator Waqar Mehdi expressed these views while speaking to the media during an inspection of development projects in Korangi District. He reiterated that there would be no compromise on the quality and timely completion of these projects and that all obstacles in this regard would be removed. "Under Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's vision, unprecedented development work worth billions of rupees is underway across Karachi without any discrimination. Serving the people by providing facilities is a core responsibility of the PPP-led provincial government, and the Sindh government, under Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah's leadership, is committed to implementing Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s vision," he added.
He further said that he would personally oversee ongoing projects in all districts to guarantee their quality and timely completion.
Meanwhile, Senator Waqar Mehdi chaired a key meeting at the office of the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Korangi. The meeting was attended by DC Korangi Masood Bhutto, CMIIIT Department Member Abdul Salam Memon, KDA Chief Engineer, consultants, and other relevant officials. During the meeting, the KDA briefed Mehdi on the provincial development projects and mega projects underway in Korangi District. However, he expressed displeasure over the incomplete briefing provided by the KDA officers and consultants.
He directed the KDA to requalify its consultants, conduct soil testing, and submit monthly progress reports on the projects to the CMIIIT Department. Senator Waqar Mehdi also instructed the DC Korangi to oversee the ongoing projects to ensure their quality for public benefit.
Later, Senator Waqar Mehdi inspected several development schemes funded by the Sindh government in Korangi District. These included the construction of 13000 Road, 20000 Road, the flyover at Korangi No. 5, and the road and stormwater drain in Allah Wali Colony. He issued necessary instructions to the concerned officials during his visit.
PPP Korangi District President Jani Memon, General Secretary Sharjeel Rizwani, Senior Vice President Shiraz Waheed, Information Secretary Ahmed Raza, and others, were also present on the occasion.
