Finally CDGK is going to complete its tenure. A golden era in the history of Karachi is done. In this duration the city of lights has seen a tremendous progress and development.
The CDGK under Mustafa Kamal’s supervision has performed its duties to the best of its capacities. When Mustafa Kamal took oath, there were no proper sewerage and storm water drainage system. The existing had already been collapsed. We still remember those days during heavy rain when whole city was paralyzed by rain water, which remained on roads for several days. We also remember those days when broken roads were the main cause of the traffic jams.
Today we see several roads and couple of corridors have been developed and are working well. Proper sewerage & storm water system has been installed in many areas and due to this reason, rain water does not remain on the roads for long and most of the roads get clear after some hours of the rain.
Monitoring the city has always been the problem. CDGK has also developed a state of the art central control room, which is very helpful in keeping a strong eye on every major roads and corners. Now Police is also using that center to monitor the city to control crimes.
CDGK has also played an important role on health side. Karachi has got its second heart disease center some days back. Although the city government has done extra efforts in disaster management and bought new fire tenders and ambulances but results are not as per the expectations and need more efforts in this side. Same is on the public transport side. 50 cng buses are nothing for almost 10.4 million people. A proper, heavy duty and futuristic transport system is the necessity of the city, on which the next city government has to work restlessly.
Mustafa Kamal is the only mayor of the country who is known and appreciated internationally for his performance. His performance has brought this city in the sight of city planners and developers and their visits show that Karachi has become a vibrant city in today’s world and has the ability to become the investor and tourist attraction in future.
I as a resident of this city is proud to have such an active mayor and I would like to see another mayor of the same kind.
Well Done Mustafa Kamal !
