Imran Ismail, the governor of Sindh has announced that the government will soon celebrate Biryani Festival in Karachi. The festival will be inaugurated by the President Arif Alvi, who is also resident of Karachi and belongs to governor’s political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf.

“Such fiestas will be held every year and upcoming festival will be given status of an international festival,” told the governor while addressing a ceremony held by Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (REAP).

Ismail assured all his support to the REAP and said, “currently rice exports are at $2 bn, while the REAP has set target of $4 bn. We want to see economic activities flourishing in Pakistan.”

Karachi’s Biryani is famous not only in Pakistan but in many other parts of the world as well. Therefore, the festival is expected to grab attention of millions, which will eventually help REAP as well.

The festival will be held at Governor’s House and Ismail said the government will invite everyone from the meat suppliers to masala walas.
