KARACHI: Local citizens appreciated Prime Minister Imran Khan for acknowledging their plight during monsoons and engaging the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) for the urgent removal of different forms of debris from storm/rain drains. Urging all stakeholders, including the citizens, she said that while work was in progress, a huge responsibility lies upon them to ensure that nobody was allowed to practice dumping of discarded goods and waste (domestic, construction, industrial, etc.) “We are the ultimate sufferers,” said the lady residing in North Nazimabad. “This definitely needs coordination at every level,” he said and hoped that better sense would prevail in the interest of citizens. Reminding that urban flooding witnessed only a few weeks ago was a grim reminder of lack of political coordination, he opined that things presently seem to be taking a turn for good.
