HYDERABAD: Newly elected Mayor of Hyderabad, Kashif Shoro said that he will try to solve the long-standing problems of Hyderabad which could not be solved in the last 30 years with the help of his party leadership and all the stakeholders.
He has the full support of Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Chairman Asif Ali Zardari, Faryal Talpur and Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah and will not face shortage of funds at any level during this term of the mayor because he considers Public service as the first duty.

The district administration will take into account the opinions of the businessmen of Hyderabad in all its decisions and help them in increasing their business.
