Former mayor lauds Centre’s move, but rues lack of drivers, funds to operate new fire trucks
KARACHI:
The much touted about fire equipment procured by the federal government was handed over to the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation and other bodies at a ceremony held at the Sindh Governor House on Sunday.
Addressing the event, former Karachi mayor Wasim Akhtar lauded the Centre's move and chided the Pakistan Peoples Party-led provincial government.
It is good news for Karachi that an effort has been made to improve the service of KMC's fire department, said Akhtar. It was the responsibility of the Sindh government but it did not pay attention to his request in this regard, added the former mayor, while thanking the federal government for taking the initiative.
