KARACHI: Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab said on Friday that the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) would continue to work together with the Sindh government for Karachi’s betterment.

He was speaking at the inauguration of the 4th Marigold Festival at Bagh-e-Jinnah (Frere Hall lawn) where asked the citizens to come in large numbers and tell the world that good work was also done in the city.

The mayor said that the revenue situation in KMC was also being improved as it had recovered Rs240 million from PSO, and the remaining Rs260m would also be recovered soon.

Mr Wahab said previously, the KMC’s income was just Rs580m but after his arrival, it had soared to more than Rs1billion during the same period.

He said Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari was the only major political leader active in political field, and on February 8, everything would become clear as the citizens would decide who had worked and who had not. And after that, only the representatives of the Pakistan Peoples Party would be seen everywhere.

The mayor said that the Frere Garden was an asset of the citizens, adding that the entry of the citizens would be free.

He further said that the Sindh government had given three snorkels to the city yesterday which had been added to the fire brigade fleet and would be used all over the city to put off fires.
