Sindh Local Bodies Minister Nasir Hussain Shah has claimed that Karachi will be a garbage-free-city by the end of October.
He made these remarks while speaking at the inaugural ceremony of online apps of the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB).
Lauding the KWSB officials over the resumption of the mobile tanker service, Nasir Shah said that the step was taken for the betterment of residents of the metropolis.
The minister said that the provincial government will remove all the garbage from Karachi by the end of next month.
Speaking on local bodies elections, the minister said: “Sindh government had already expressed reservations over 2017 census results and want to hold local elections with new census”.
While commenting on the matter of proposed KMC taxes, no new tax has been included in the K-Electric bills.
With an aim to make the metropolitan garbage-free-city, the Sindh Solid Waste Management Board (SSWMB) last year purchased over 200 Qingqi rickshaws to initiate a door-to-door clean-up system in the city.
