As the monsoon season is just around the corner, City Administrator Barrister Murtaza Wahab on Saturday said that the cleaning and de-silting of 41 major storm drains in Karachi had been almost completed.
While visiting Jubilee Nullah, Garden Nullah, Soldier Bazaar Nullah and Regal Saddar Nullah, he said that work on major drains was in full swing.
“The District Municipal Corporations (DMCs) should clean the drains passing through their area, trying not to cause any inconvenience to the citizens in the rainy season,” he ordered.
