KARACHI: The Polo Ground roundabout that underwent restoration work carried out by JS Bank has been inaugurated on Independence Day.

The roundabout was inaugurated by DG Rangers Major General Omar Ahmed Bokhari as part of Independence Day celebrations.

“Pakistan is our responsibility, and we each need to embrace our role as active members of the society in order for it to grow.”

Speaking on the occasion, Basir Shamsie, president and CEO of JS Bank, said: “A city as progressive and vital as Karachi deserves our collective efforts to maintain its historic beauty. The restoration of this landmark is our way of giving back to the community and our fellow citizens.
