According to Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori, he received money for the improvement of Karachi from Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari.
During his visit to Karachi’s Paper Market, Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori spoke with the media and said that the historic Paper Market is in disrepair where accidents are frequent because of open manholes and sewerage lines.
He claimed to have assigned the Karachi Administrator the duty of covering manholes and sewer lines. He lamented that they lacked the resources to pay the salaries of the workers at the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC).
He advised Karachi residents to get in touch with him via his Twitter account or the Governor House helpline.
Governor Tessori said that it is unfortunate that the whole metropolis is in a dilapidated state and he is fully aware of the miseries of the Karachiites.
“I have talked to the Sindh CM regarding the Karachi development works. I have given orders to the Karachi administrator to improve the situation in four hospitals. All four hospitals were constructed in accordance with the standards of the South City Hospital.”
Tessori claimed that he has received funds from Asif Ali Zardari and CM Murad Ali Sah for Karachi. “I had told Asif Ali Zardari during a meeting that the development of Karachi is important.”
He said that Karachi is a stronghold of mafias and he is fighting with them. “I will never step back from working for the betterment of Karachi. Street crime is one of the biggest issues of this city and it is necessary to address this issue as a top priority.”
During his visit, the governor met labourers working to cover the nullah and awarded them Rs2,000 prize money.
