KARACHI, the largest city of Pakistan and having two ports, which contributes more than 20 per cent of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and provides 60pc of its revenue, is again at the receiving end for several reasons.
As some political leaders have rightly highlighted, the approved population figure of 16 million on the basis of the 2017 census is a travesty, to say the least. Pure and simple statistics indicate that even if we assume the population figure of 9.30 million, which was provisionally declared after the 1998 census, Karachi’s population should have been at least around 23.50 million in the year 2017 if we assume a constant annual population growth rate of 5pc for 19 years, which is still a conservative estimate.
