These Karachiites have a message for Sindh chief minister
KARACHI: A group of activists here have opted for a rather unorthodox way of drawing the attention of authorities towards civil issues that hinder the everyday life of Karachiites.
As part of the Fix it campaign, Karachi citizens have spray-painted the portrait of Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah on major roads of the metropolis, which invoke the ire of thousands everyday due to their derelict condition.
With the chief minister's face drawn next to gaping potholes, ditches and heaps of piles on the side of Karachi's much-travelled University Road, the aim is to attract the authorities attention towards the issues that affect the common man in the city, says Alamgir Khan, who leads the campaign.
"The project is a well-organised, well-managed campaign that is being run by teams comprising normal citizens," he says. "[However,] this is only the beginning."
