Earlier, Murtaza Wahab said he was flabbergasted that despite having so many resources, the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) did not utilise them.

“An impression used to be given that the KMC does not have resources, but it is not true. There is no dearth of resources with the organisation. KMC assets are present all over the megalopolis,” Murtaza Wahab said talking to media in Karachi.

He said the provision of sports facilities was among the top priorities of the government. Women were glorifying Pakistan’s name, he maintained. He said positive activities would be promoted if playgrounds would be populated.

While commenting on street crimes in Karachi, the administrator said the rate of street crimes had shot up in the city. However, he said, the Sindh government could not interfere in the affairs of the police. Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah had apprised the Sindh inspector general about the conditions of Karachi.

He said at the request of the Sindh government, the Karachi police chief was changed. The new police chief was making efforts to control the street crimes and hopefully, he would do so.

Murtaza Wahab said the government would provide the cooperation required by the police to arrest the crimes.
