He pointed out that in 1995, former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto allocated PR’s backyard to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) for parking, but PR has yet to transfer the land.
Wahab also spoke about his communication with Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori, mentioning their past professional relationship, as he had been his lawyer.
He appreciated Tessori’s positive response to his letter and expressed hope that the governor would assist in securing federal funding.
Additionally, the mayor announced that 29 chlorination centers will become operational after Ramazan to ensure clean drinking water and prevent waterborne diseases in the city.
