Karachi Administrator Iftikhar Shallwani has set up a new Karachi Metropolitan Corporation committee, 'Baghban,' reportedly comprising of area residents, to preserve and take care of parks in the city. Parks Director General Taha Saleem set up a third Baghban group at 2K Park Nazimabad on Monday, with members of the committee given jerseys with 'KMC Parks' inscribed on them. On the day, Saleem said that the two such committees formed earlier for Sir Syed Park and Hill Park have done good work so far. According to Saleem, Nazimabad is among the developed areas of the city with many parks and playgrounds featured on its map, but most of them were in dilapidated conditions. The city administrator has also issued directives to plant trees and ensure the provision of facilities at parks and playgrounds, according to the parks DG.
