New Karachi emerges as most beautiful town
By Irfan Aligi

KARACHI: In the past, the town was said to be ugly but the present City District Government Karachi (CDGK) took keen interest in it and has converted it into one of the most beautiful towns in the city.

The town has evolved into one of the richest in terms of greenery as it now has 13 beautiful parks, which are duly maintained and looked after by the Town Municipal Administration.

New Karachi Town Nazim Akhtar Hussain stated this while exclusively talking to Daily Times on Saturday during the ‘Appreciation Ceremony’ held in the honour of New Karachi Town’s officers, staffers and the town’s law enforcement agencies including the police and Rangers.

Hussain said that the town is the largest in the city and has hundreds of arteries opening to every nook and cranny of the city because they have been made according to international standards. It is roughly estimated that New Karachi Town has carpeted around 50, 000 square feet of roads within just three months while the entire length is not mentioned here.

The town has the honour of pioneering the launch of dedicated rescue services. The rescuers are all educated and they have been equipped with the latest means of communication and they are on patrol round the clock. The rescue team comprises of six highly trained doctors with 12 paramedics and the vehicles have all been equipped with an ECG machine, oxygen tanks, Ultrasound and other facilities, claimed Hussain.

The town has also launched door-to-door garbage collection, free of cost and for the first time in the history of Pakistan, New Karachi Town has taken the process one step further by floating tenders for such purposes, added Hussain.

The town has the highest number of sanitary workers employed on contractual basis and the number is higher than 1,200. It is, for the first time, that a dinner was hosted for the New Karachi Town officers at a valued venue. The 1,200 sanitary workers were awarded with appreciation letters alongwith cash reward, said Hussain.

It is also pertinent to mention here that the New Karachi Town administration has silently rehabilitated the affectees of the fire that erupted within the limits of Bilal Colony police station, claiming the lives of around 35 men, women and children. Those who had survived have been provided homes and all necessities of life in New Karachi Town’s Kaneez Fatima Society’s Yaroo Goth, said Hussain.

The town is the second largest in Karachi, having a large population and 13 Union Councils. New Karachi Town has the single largest network of non-stop roads with many U-Turns and it is linked to many main arteries of the city, including the MA Jinnah Road towards the port and is connected with the airport via Signal Free Corridor-II. The New Karachi Town has one imminent industrial zone known as the New Karachi Industrial Area, which has hundreds of small and big industrial units including food processing units, textile mills and pharmaceutical firms, said Hussain.

MNAs from Muttahidda Qaumi Movement including Abdul Waseem, Sheikh Salahuddin, Provincial Minister Abdul Haseeb, MPA Adil Khan, Sindh Chief Minister’s Adviser Khawaja Izhar-ul-Hassan, SITE Town Nazim Izhar-ud-Din, Union Council nazims, councilors, police officials, Rangers officials and dignitaries of New Karachi Town were awarded certificates of appreciation and New Karachi Town’s souvenirs.
