KARACHI: Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab has launched several development projects in different union committees (UCs) of the Central district, including the installation of 430,000 square feet of paver blocks in Liaquatabad.
Speaking to the media, the mayor said that the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) had started road construction and rehabilitation work across multiple UCs in the Central district. He added that development activities were in full swing in Liaquatabad Furniture Market, Gharibabad, and Bhangoora Goth.
Wahab said 60mm and 80mm paver blocks were being used to ensure long-lasting roads, which would help improve traffic flow once completed.
Paying tribute to Madar-i-Jamhooriat (Mother of Democracy) Begum Nusrat Bhutto, he said she played a historic role in strengthening democracy and remained a source of inspiration for women across Pakistan. “Her courage and struggle laid a strong foundation for democracy,” he said.

The mayor also suggested naming the Liaquatabad street after Shaheed Amjad Sabri, calling him a proud son of Karachi whose legacy deserves to be honored.
Wahab further said that the Sindh chief minister had approved several development schemes for the area under the CLICK program, which were progressing under the leadership of the PPP chairman.
Criticising political opponents, he remarked, “We are rebuilding this road even though it is not under KMC’s jurisdiction, because we believe in public service. Jamaat-i-Islami has disrespected the citizens, and I will continue to expose their double standards.”
