Karachi has reached a pile of ammunition, violent mobs burned 10 tankers on the death of innocent civilians and water in the city has become rare. Problems are increasing in Karachi, but coalition parties are engaged in verbal shelling against each other in the federal government.
People have no choice but to disappoint. Traffic accidents have increased in Karachi in the last 6 months and in the meantime these heavy tankers have crushed motorcyclists in such a way that many of the people who have seen these scenes on social media have been suffering from unseen at night. A water tanker near Malir on the highway of Faisal crushed the couple on the other side of the road.
In addition to the pregnant woman, a child who came out of her stomach was also killed in the accident. On the highway, a couple sitting on a motorcycle was breaking down when a speeding car crushed the couple. The speeding car was driving a 17 -year -old youth. Last year, a woman from the family of Amra could not control her car, thus the father and daughter who went on a motorcycle left the world. Such accidents are taking place in Karachi, but the provincial government has immediately done nothing but formal statements to solve these traffic problems. Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah looks particularly active to solve certain issues, but perhaps Karachi traffic accidents are not included in his priorities, so he presided over a meeting last week in which several decisions were made.
Under a decision in these decisions, the speed for heavy transport has now been fixed at 30 km per hour. These small vehicles will ensure the installation of trackers and protection devices. It was also decided at the meeting that the requirements for vehicle fitness would be met. Medical examination of drivers must be mandatory, it was also decided that driving academies would be set up. The Sindh government has not yet followed the modern -day government.
Public transport problems in Karachi have become the most serious shape. When Shahbaz Sharif was the Chief Minister of Punjab, he paid special attention to the construction of modern public transport system in Lahore, Islamabad and other cities, thus air -conditioned buses started on modern tracks in Lahore, Multan and Islamabad. The journey that was scheduled for 2 hours on ordinary buses began to be set in half an hour. In Lahore, the orange train also started. Now the current Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is planning to drive an underground train.
The PTI government also built a metro in Peshawar. Meanwhile, public transport in Karachi was almost gone and people were forced to travel to Chung Chi for the discovery of China. When Mian Nawaz Sharif became Prime Minister, he laid the foundation stone of the Green Line project from the big board to Chowringhee. The plan was completed late on the basis of the PTI government coming to power, but the plan is a blessing for those traveling in the area.
The Sindh government started a Red Line project four years ago from Malirkant to Gulshan -e -Iqbal’s via Gulshan -e -Iqbal. The government had constructed a road to Gulshan before the project for crores of rupees. Now, a few years later, the road is being constructed and the Red Line is underway and the project has become a punishment for travelers in the area. Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah inspects Sindh government development projects on various occasions. He has taken a special interest in the construction of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s highway and many times a month his inspection photos go viral, but millions of people living around Gulshan -e -Iqbal, from Malir Kent, want the Chief Minister to inspect the Red Line construction. The Sindh government operated two hundred modern air -conditioned buses two years ago on different routes.
Although the number of these buses is very low, the citizens of Karachi have benefited from these modern buses. The Sindh government increased the rent of these buses a few months ago. According to a report, they have more rent than the modern buses operating in Punjab. Experts say one of the causes of traffic accidents is the breakdown of the roads and the accumulation of sewage water on the roads. Mayor Karachi Murtaza Wahab seems to be active in improving roads, but in practice the situation is not getting better. Officials of the municipality of Karachi say that the boundaries of the municipality are close to 30 % in Karachi, the rest of the area is under control of the Cantonment Board and other agencies. Thus, the boundaries of the institutions have their own fights.
The PPP government is not in favor of the municipal system of powers at the grassroots level, which is why the Solid Waste Management Board has been set up to lift the garbage besides water distribution, water is rare in Karachi. Most of the settlements in Karachi do not provide water through taps. People in these settlements buy water through tankers. Because of this, a strong tanker mafia tankers run on the streets. Most of these tankers are not registered in Karachi. A journalist reporting transport says the majority of tankers are registered in the city of Balochistan, adjoining Karachi, thus the annual fitness of these tankers never takes the form of reality. Circular railway is not active due to lack of interest from federal and provincial governments.
The situation in Pakistan Railways is also unheard of, if the railways are mobilized, container freight can be sent to the country by freight vehicles, thus reducing not only on the roads of Karachi but also on the motorway from Karachi to Peshawar. One of the reasons for the disappointment of the Sindh government of Karachi is the sale and sale of government jobs. In the minds of the youth graduating from the universities of Karachi, the question has been raised as to which department of Sindh will not be easily employed. The credibility of the Sindh Public Service Commission has expired.
A principal who retired from a government college was complaining in the past that no work could be done in Sindh Secretariat without “shine”. The Sindh government has made a new amendment to the Sindh Building Control Authority Law. Under this amendment, there may be commercial construction in residential areas. Perhaps the officers did not keep in mind when the amendment that every area without planning in Karachi would be transformed into a jungle of large buildings, which causes urban problems besides environmental pollution issues. A journalist says the fire brigade staff does not have the ability to extinguish more than the fifth floor. The general impression that the government has announced to reduce accidents is that these decisions will not be implemented. Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, the convenor of the coalition party, in the federation representing the urban areas of Karachi in the past, said at a press conference that the city of Karachi has come on a pile of ammunition.
They state that sparks emerge on the streets. She will reach the pile of ammunition, and she is afraid of bleeding again. He says the establishment of an independent local and urban government is the way to save Karachi. When the PPP can contract its co -chairman to the MQM to hold the post of President Pakistan, why not negotiate with the MQM and other parties to resolve the problems of Karachi? The scientific path of development of cities lies in the establishment of an independent municipal system at the lower levels. The incidents of tankers’ fire in Karachi have confirmed the concerns of Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui.
