Green Belts, Beautification Work Planned for Karachi’s Major Roads

Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab has ordered the creation of beautification zones along the city’s major roads as part of ongoing infrastructure development efforts. Wahab made the decision while chairing a high-level meeting of the Engineering Department in Karachi.

During the meeting, the Director General of Technical Services briefed the mayor on several development schemes currently underway across the city. The mayor instructed departments to ensure every road project also includes beautification work, saying development initiatives should improve Karachi’s appearance alongside infrastructure.

He directed officials to complete all ongoing schemes by June 30. Wahab said the possibility of heavy rainfall this year makes timely completion of projects critical to prevent inconvenience for residents.

He also ordered departments to prioritize major road projects, adding that funds are already available for the work. The mayor stressed that the municipal administration must stay fully engaged in development activities and said work should continue on weekends if needed.

Wahab said residents have started witnessing visible improvements in the city and urged departments to further raise construction standards. He also called for more green belts and additional beautification measures, saying Karachi’s development should focus on both infrastructure upgrades and the city’s overall outlook.
