Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab said that during the Eid days, 146,584 tons of offal and garbage were collected through 99 collection points. This operation successfully concluded over five days. Following the budget meeting, municipal staff and sanitary workers will be invited to the City Council, where I and the elected representatives will honor them. Despite the extreme heat, sanitary workers performed excellently, cleaning the city of remains of sacrificial animals and garbage. After the cleanup, the next major challenge is the rains, for which all preparations have been completed. Post-rain, focus will shift to development work and completing ongoing projects.
