Can PTI Help Fix Pakistan's Financial Capital Karachi's Problems?

[RiazHaq]

http://www.riazhaq.com/2018/09/can-pti-help-fix-pakistans-financial.html

What are the biggest problems in Karachi's governance? What must the government do improve water, sanitation, transport and infrastructure issues faced by the megacity's population?




Should Karachi be a separate province? Should the local bodies law be changed to devolve power and allocate greater resources to the municipal governments in Sindh?

What have other nations done to deliver better municipal services to their citizens? Can Pakistan learn from others' experience? How can big cities like Karachi finance, build and manage the infrastructure needed to deliver better services?

What can the incoming PTI leadership in Islamabad do to help Karachi-ites in spite the limitations of the 18th Amendment?

Azad Labon Ke Sath host Faraz Darvesh discusses these questions with Sabahat Ashraf and Riaz Haq

Karachi's Population is 21.2 million


1) Motor Bikes must go 100%

• Scrap
• Auction
• Sell off
• put them in pile and run a Tank over them all

2) City Bus / Train need to be Immediately started

• 500 Buses should be imported from China Urgent Basis
• 100 Seats x 500 Buses = 50,000 Passenger transport capacity in One Round Trip

Simple Month to Month Metro Pass should be introduced
Bought from Banks

All proceeds from Metro Sales should be traceable into One Federal Government Account

• Local Circular Railway Track should be opened immediately to run traditional Train Service on it 12 hours a day except the night

Karachi used to have 26 Trains runs till 2 am in morning and cost for Ticket used to be (Watch attached documentary)

• 25 CENTS cost of ticket

Karachi Circular Railway (Urdu: کراچی مداری ریلوے‬‎; abbreviated KCR) is a defunct regional public transit system in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, which served the Karachi metropolitan area between 1969 and 1999.

Existing infrastructure should be fixed first related to KCR

Illegal Houses/ Structures constructed on Railway tracks should be demolished after a 2-3 day warning message

3) Desalination Water Plant setup

4) New Pipelines on Emergency basis for water transportation

5) Army/Police / NAB overview of the Water Mafia crisis



Seikh Rasheed promises full cooperation for relauch of KCR
Railways will not mind giving up operational control to local bodies for success of KCR

As long as peetal balti exists and 18th amendment remains unchanged they have little space to move around in Karachi

Self Inflicted Wounds

WATER MAFIA :

Water Mafia : Tankers make 50,000 Trips per Day Charge 6,000 Rupees per House
50,000 x 6,000 = 300,000,00 Rupees per day
300,000,000 x 365 (days in year) = 109, 500,000 ,000 Rupees
Converted To Dollars = 876 Million USD Whose collecting Tax on this shit forget tax this should be 100% collected by Government only


Lack of METRO / TRAIN in Karachi:

Population of Karachi 21 Million People
50% Work so 10,500,000 (10.5 Million people)

Cost of Metro Round Trip (2 way trip) : Assume $2 Dollar cheapest rate in world
Daily Gain for Government could be 10,500,000 x $2 = 21,000,000 Million Dollar

365 days (1 year later ) could collect = 7,665, 000, 000 (7.6 Billion Dollar)


Shut Down Steeles Milles :
World Wide Steeles companies make 3-5 Billon yearly profits
We make $0

So 3,000,000,000 USD to 5,000,000,000 USD lost revenue

And we have CPEC , yet our steel production or profits are $0.00



Just these 3 Avenues are totaling up 13-15 Billion Dollars USD

Empower the city government, empower the city mayor, give them funds and place a person to have an eye on them......that shud be the first phase of Karachi development plan.

 

[Max]

PTI should invite JICA again to start work on KCR and make sure it start soon. Complete Green line etc bus metro, K4 water supply..

Rest put pressure on Pee Pee Pee.

 

[Syed1.]

Bhai KCR hi kholdo humaray kuch had tak maslay hal hojaingaye

Its funny that Karachi had an urban metro transit system when cities like Shanghai, Mumbai etc were in very early stages of development and now these cities are decades ahead of Karachi, all due to our political instability and mismanagement.

 

[Imran Khan]

ab khuda hi karachi ki help ker sakta hai . i wish we seen a devalouped peceful wealthy karachi before we die

 

[fiza200]

PTI will solve all problems of Karachi easily.

 

[jupiter2007]

Since we compare ourselves with India in everything, i thought i should post a video about Delhi subway system. Can we build something like this in Karachi? this a metro-train system just like in New York, DMV, London, etc.

Karachi needs mass transportation system, new Buses, metroRail and fast train system.
These project will create jobs and government can earn lots of money.

Why Sindh government doesn't work on Karachi Circular railway project?

Karachi needs to be made a self governing city with the same powers as a province.
It then needs to send it's people to Seoul Korea and copy exactly what they did

Here is Seoul before and after.

@Ahmet Pasha

[Cuirassier]

Why not an Underground Subway/Tube system?
