News are coming that MQM is again re organizing and re entering in Karachi.

Karachi people have voted PTI which has been a disaster, in order for the city to get its rights, all stake holders will need to unite, there must be no taxation without representation, if the city stops giving taxes to fed govt, things may change, but for that as i said, all karachi stake holders must have to unite. They will try to send army, but if people are unted army's cant do anything, the demand should be no less than an authonomous province.

It feels insulting that peshawar has metro and karachi still relies on peshawar's mini buses.

PTI's electoral future in Karachi depends on this.


Expect very low turnout in 2023 if PTI does not live up to promises. I'm myself a two time PTI voter and may refrain if things don't improve.


However, then there is a part of me which thinks if we don't turn out then waderas of PPP or target killers of MQM will benefit. Also if PTI manage to resurrect the national economy even if Karachi promises are not completely fulfilled then I'll vote for them because when economy starts running then Karachi automatically benefits. However, economy can't run without Karachi being on her feet - so it's a chicken and egg situation.


Asad Umar did announce today formation of a committee headed by Najeeb Haroon to coordinate all facets of the KTP with the different ministries.


I think Sindh government also announced commencement of Malir Expressway and Yellow Line BRT in this year. I take anything they say with a barrel of salt but this time I feel establishment danda is there so you never know they might work.


PTI and Asad Umar should fully focus on KCR, K4, solid waste management and storm drainage. Fulfill this and gain 15-20 seats in the next elections.


I remember a PTI nara in Karachi during 2018:

'Pani nahi nalkay mein
Soch kay ana halkay mein'


I hope the same nara doesn't come back to bite them hard...

I dont think so
This is just a Big Boti for bg mouths barking days and night.
Real things are gonna unfold in a sequence as is observed in recent weeks like electoral reforms GB provinvial status etc

Violence expected as KMC widens Mehmoodabad Nullah Thursday

PPP MPA Saeed Ghani's constituency to be affected

Reporting | Sohail Khan - Posted: Nov 18, 2020 | Last Updated: 5 hours ago

KMC will be razing 850 illegal houses in a major operation to clear land on both sides of one of Karachi’s main stormwater drains, the Mehmoodabad Nullah, Thursday. Violence is expected so it has enlisted the help of the police and rangers.

The work will be undertaken by the National Disaster Management Authority, the East district administration and Karachi Metropolitan Corporation from Manzoor Colony Fire Brigade Station to Korangi Road. It was planned at the start of last week but put off till the Pakistan Super League.

KMC Metropolitan Commissioner Afzal Zaidi was initially supervising the work (he was transferred out on Wednesday night). The houses run on a 3.5km strip on both sides of the nullah. KMC did give leases for land but at a distance of 100, 150 and 200 feet from the nullah’s edges. Those houses are part of a notified KMC katchi abadi that was formed up until 1987. The problem is with houses that have been built right at the edge of the nullah.

“They are un-leased housing construction and people are living without any documented proof,” he said.

KMC plans to bring the nullah back to the shape as specified in the 1987 Master Plan. Usually when land is left over or vacant around a nullah, a “revised” or “part” plan can be made so people can build on it. But Zaidi clarified that this was not the case.

The encroachment removal will be done according to a 1987 KMC Katchi Abadis notification in which the actual status of the nullah has to be restored according to a Supreme Court order. The width of the Mehmoodabad drain varies by 100, 150 and 200 feet from Manzoor Colony Fire Brigade Station to Korangi Road. Its original width from Manzoor Colony Fire Brigade Station to Bismillah Bridge is 100 feet but this has shrunk to 10 to 12 feet right now.

There are un-leased houses on the left of the drain at Manzoor Colony, Sector 1.
The width of the drain is supposed to be 150 feet wide in the strip from Bismillah Bridge to Akhtar Colony but here too it has shrunk to 12 feet or so. Illegal housing has come up here as well.

On the left, un-leased houses stretch from Bismillah Bridge to Awami Chowk in Manzoor Colony, Sector1. The actual width of this portion is 150 feet. It is much the same near Rehman Colony Extension on the left too.

There is a slight encroachment on the right bank at spots in Azam Town and on the right at Akhtar Colony. From Akhtar Colony to Korangi Road it was supposed to be 200 feet wide but is now just 50 feet. Squatters have come to live here as well. in the portion at Akhtar Colony and from Kashmir Colony to Korangi Road.

“We surveyed the entire site to three to four times in recent days to figure out the numbers of illegal constructions on both sides,” Zaidi added.

Why is Mehmoodabad nullah a KMC priority?

Metropolitan Commissioner Zaidi explained that Mehmoodabad nullah falls in KMC’s control as opposed to the city’s other stormwater drains on whose land leases have been given by other land owing agencies. For Mehmoodabad nullah, KMC’s Katchi Abadi department gave all the leases and hence it is easier for it to get the work done.
“It is a test case for KMC and other departments as removing encroachments from Mehmoodabad stormwater drain is comparatively easy than for others in Karachi,” he added.

How did these houses appear on un-leased land?

KMC Katchi Abadis Senior Director Mazhar Khan said that KMC and the East district administration closely surveyed the illegal constructions over the nullah.

“They appeared after 1990 without getting a lease from KMC, as they are on stormwater drain land,” he said. The people who took over this land and made houses rented or illegally sold them to others.

The people who unknowingly were duped into buying illegal land will suffer. Some of them said that they expected the market price for the value of their property. They said they did not accept the government’s Rs0.3 million per person compensation.

KMC’s Mazhar Khan said, however, that the government was bound by law to give market value for only leased property and not un-leased ones.

They said that they had been living there for years and had put their life savings into building their houses on that land. The KMC is expecting resistance and has called in police and Rangers for the operation.

The work to clear illegal houses on one side of Mehmoodabad nullah from Korangi road to Shaheed-e-Millat in Karachi will be a political challenge for the PPP’s Saeed Ghani as the operation will take place in his constituency of PS-104.

The encroachments are in Manzoor Colony Sector I, Azam Town, Rehman Colony and Kashmir Colony.

The other side of the nullah is PTI Bilal Ahmed’s PS-103. This is Liaquat Ashraf Colony, Mehmoodabad No 5 & 6. These areas are leased by the KMC Katchi Abadis Department according to the 1987 Master Plan, according to Senior Director Mazhar Khan. An anti-encroachment operation on this side of the nullah was undertaken in 2016.

Muhammad Anwar, a resident of Liaquat Ashraf Colony, said that KMC removed leased houses in 2016. “The residents went to court against KMC and the court was gave a verdict in favour of the residents,” he said. A year later, former Mayor Wasim Akhtar visited the area and allowed residents to construct their houses again, as the land was leased by KMC, he added.

PTI MPA Bilal Ahmed told SAMAA Digital that PPP MPA Saeed Ghani was not in favour of the operation. This much is self-evident given the political fall-out from any demolition in Karachi. Saeed Ghani could not be immediately unreached for comment.

Sources said that Ghani had expressed his unhappiness at meetings over the plans to raze houses in his constituency. Why could the authorities not go after the much larger and more problematic Gujjar Nullah? The only problem here is that KMC only has jurisdiction on Mehmoodabad nullah and that too only up to Korangi Road.

Another question raised during meetings was why DHA was not going to widen the nullah in its jurisdiction. The nullah flows into DHA after Korangi Road but roads have been built, reducing its width there.

The people who live in these areas have been raising this question. Asif Kashmiri, a resident of Azam Town for the last 13 years, felt that it would be useless to just widen the nullah half-way. He said that the authorities should widen the nullah in DHA where it is just 80 feet. “It is useless to widen the nullah by 200 feet at the Korangi Road end without broadening it in DHA which connects it to its end point.”

10-member committee formed to implement Karachi package

September 17, 2020

A 10-member Provincial Coordination & Implementation Committee (PCIC) has been constituted with Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah as its chairman to steer the affairs related to the recently announced historic Rs1.1 trillion special development package for Karachi.

The announcement of forming the committee was made through a notification dated September 15 that was issued by the chief secretary, who is also a member of the committee. The chairman of the Planning & Development Board of the Sindh Planning & Development Department is the committee’s secretary.

Other committee members are a representative of the Pakistan Army’s V Corps, the city commissioner, the city administrator, a representative of the National Disaster Management Authority, a representative of the federal government, the local government secretary and the transport & mass transit secretary.

The committee’s terms of reference include planning of the development projects to be implemented by the respective government authorities under the chairmanship of the province’s chief executive.

The committee will also serve as a forum for resolving impediments in the smooth implementation of projects as well as act as a central forum for coordination among all the stakeholders. The committee will ensure the implementation of the laid down timelines and carry out regular adjustments in the implementation of development projects in the city.

It will maintain the record of all projects and take the required actions to ensure due diligence and quality control. It will also monitor development works of executing organisations and facilitate execution by synergising public and private sectors.

The committee will recommend changes in organisation and executing agencies for effective progress of work. It will conduct projections of on-ground development through the media. It will also closely coordinate with law enforcement agencies to ensure their availability, whenever required, for smooth progress of projects.

The committee will carry out liaison with the relevant departments for priority of work, dispute of resolutions, etc. It will meet regularly — at least once a fortnight — to review progress and discuss future plans regarding the city’s development.

The notification quoted the chief secretary as saying that all the relevant agencies and institutions should nominate their representatives for the PCIC immediately, ordering the officials to assist the committee as and when required.

Announcing the Rs1.1 trillion development package for Karachi on September 5, Prime Minister Imran Khan had said that a PCIC would be formed comprising every relevant stakeholder to clear all the obstacles to ensure the implementation of all development projects included in the package in a timely manner.

The PM had admitted on the occasion that different land-owning agencies were operating in Karachi, and that it had been difficult to work for the city’s development under a unified strategy. He said the PCIC would ensure that the federal and Sindh governments were able to work for the development of the city without any issue of jurisdiction or land control.

Karachi did not want money the major issue is ppp & blawal & zardari crimenal group witch destroy whole city & provoke shia to do extremisem for destablise & creat ethinic crises in Karachi right now Karachi is hostage by ppp & Sindh police is become a militant wing of it...

It feels insulting that peshawar has metro

Because the PTI actually formed the provincial government in KP and planned and executed the Peshawar BRT with provincial funds.

Blame is heaped on the PPP because they have been in power for 13 years in Sindh and have done worse than nothing - the PPP government in Sindh has made Karachi regress.

The PTI has been in power in the Center for a little more than 2 years, dealing with massive federal issues left behind by decades of mismanagement by the previous parties in power, and somehow people think that the PTI should have fixed Karachi's own massive problems created over 13 years of PPP rule in Sindh in 2 years, and that too without having any say in the Sindh provincial government.
