The Sindh government has approved the Inclusive City project, a special residential and rehabilitation facility for differently-abled people, to be built on 88.38 acres of land in Korangi.
The Sindh cabinet announced during a meeting that the Inclusion City will provide education, rehabilitation, and green space facilities for people with special needs.
The government has allocated Rs 5 billion for the project in the 2024–25 budget.
The cabinet also approved a direct agreement with Shahid Abdullah Company for the development and planning of the Inclusive City.
Earlier in the cabinet meeting, the Sindh Assembly also passed a resolution urging the federal government to allocate funds for the Hyderabad-Sukkur Motorway in the upcoming fiscal budget.
The resolution, presented by PPP MPA Asif Musa, stated that the project is not only vital for Sindh but also for the entire country.
He emphasized that budgetary provision for the long-delayed motorway should be ensured in the 2025 federal budget.
Opposition Leader Ali Khursheedi supported the resolution, stating that Karachi’s motorway itself lacks proper standards.
On a lighter note, Jamaat-e-Islami’s Muhammad Farooq criticized the rejection of his earlier resolution on economic austerity, quipping, “I wish I had come wearing a tie and coat, maybe my resolution would have passed too.”
The 306-kilometre Hyderabad-Sukkur Motorway is considered a key missing link in the national motorway network, and lawmakers have long pressed Islamabad to expedite its construction.
