KARACHI:
It is a good move, commented Abdul Qayoom, who lives near Karachi s Abdullah Haroon Road, looking at the recently inaugurated, under construction largest chess corner of the port city.
With the city authorities aiming to open it for the public on the eve of New Year and completing the construction by December 25, Qayoom saw one of his fears dispelled during the past few days.
It used to be an ugly space and people often treated it as a garbage dump, he recalled pointing to the edge of Lily Bridge on Abdullah Haroon Road. I thought it would be occupied by land grabbers, but now it will of good use for all citizens, he added. [The chess corner] will attract citizens from all parts of the city.
