Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah directed the local government department on Thursday to start the proper cleaning of the distributaries of three main stormwater drains of Karachi - Gujjar, Orangi and Mehmoodabad nullahs- before the coming monsoon season on a short-term basis, besides devising a plan for their overhaul in the longer run.
The CM, who was presiding over a meeting of the Provincial Coordination and Implementation Committee, stated that the width of Gujjar nullah should be increased from the existing 35 feet to 80 feet, and that of Orangi nullah from 20 feet to 40 feet.
