KARACHI: A 17-member MQM delegation led by Khawaja Izhar called on Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah here at CM House to discuss repair and maintenance of the infrastructure damaged in Karachi and Hyderabad during recent heavy rains.

Khawaja Izhar said that due to damaged roads and drainage lines, flow of traffic in both the cities, Karachi and Hyderabad had become a serious problem, therefore traffic jams had become the order of the day.

The chief minister told the MQM delegation that his government had already allocated Rs 5 billion for the repair and maintenance of the roads and sewerage system of the city.

He added that another amount of Rs 1.5 billion was approved by the cabinet to repair damaged road and drainage lines located on the seven routes of Peoples Bus Service launched recently in the city.

Syed Murad Ali Shah said that a separate budget for repair of roads of Hyderabad had also been approved by the assembly.

He assured the visiting delegation that the repair and maintenance works in both the cities would be started very soon.
