KARACHI: (HRNW) If the Sindh government wants to do something for the people of Karachi, it shouldn’t have any issue with the NDMA cleaning drains in the city, the Supreme Court said on Thursday.
The court was hearing a case on issues in Karachi such as load-shedding, electrocution deaths and clogged drains at the Karachi Registry.
Sindh Advocate-General Salman Talibuddin asked the court to review its earlier order to clean drains in the city and explain it. He said the Sindh government could take over cleaning the drains.
Prime Minister Imran Khan had asked the NDMA to clean the city’s drains and remove the tonnes of garbage blocking the flow of water. Every year, when it rains in Karachi most of the city floods because of the blocked drains.
The city government often washes its hands of the responsibility of cleaning the drains, with Mayor Wasim Akhtar saying he doesn’t have the power or resources to clean the drains and ensure that neighbourhoods aren’t flooded.
