Overflowing gutters have become order of the day in Korangi Industrial Area, particularly on the main road.
For the past one week, the gutters near Brookes Chowrangi (formerly Godown Chowrangi) are overflowing creating huge potholes on the road, thus forcing the traffic to move at a snail's speed.
Besides, there are biscuit, pharmaceutical, teas and other units involved in manufacturing edible items.
What impression does this overflowing gutters leave on the minds of people who come from abroad for inspection and visiting these units in order to make investment and sign joint venture deals.
Is this the hygienic criterion that we have to offer to our principals or partners abroad?
I wonder what the Korangi Association of Trade and Industry is doing? The island separating the main Korangi Road from Brooks Chowrangi onwards is broken from all sides and many factories and mill owners burn their garbage in the centre of this island which creates such thick smoke that the road is sometimes not visible to the moving traffic.
We talk of reducing environmental pollution but what we do is exactly the opposite.
What is the office-bearers of KATI doing? Why can't they have a meeting with Nazim-i-ala Nematullah Khan and put before him the problems that this part of the industrial area of Karachi is faced with.
Factories and mills pay huge sums of money in the shape of taxes under different headings to the government but the government offers nothing in return.
One hopes the KATI officials will wake up and do something to get rid of this permanent feature of overflowing gutters in the Korangi Industrial Area.
