KARACHI, June 02, 2009 (Balochistan Times) -- City Nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal on Tuesday inaugurated the 62 km long network of roads laid by City District Government Karachi in rural areas of Kemari Town costing more than Rs.400million. Town Nazim Humayun Khan, EDO W&S Rasheed Mughal, other officers and elected representatives were also present on this occasion. The new network has provided direct link between 70 old Goths and Scheme 42 while it has also been stretched up to RCD Highway , Hub Chowki and Hawkesbay Road . City Government has also constructed 52 small bridges at this network to save it from floods and overflow of storm water drains. Besides this three major dams have been constructed in this area to fulfill the requirement of water while the construction of a quality Model School in Mubarak Village has now entered into final stages. Talking to media representatives on this occasion Nazim Karachi Syed Mustafa Kamal said that these villages which were existed even before Pakistan came into being had been inhabited by millions of people but they were never provided with basic requirements of life in last 60 years. He said that though we did not had even a single uc nazim or councillor in these Goths but we went on and performed all these works because the Haq Parast leadership was serving the humanity without considering their political affiliation. Nazim Karachi said that the roads constructed in these villages have same standard and quality as those constructed in posh areas of the city. He said that Mubarak village is an old settlement which in past had often lost contact with urban areas during heavy rains and flooding and in such times supply of food items, medicines and other things to villagers proved quite a difficult task. Our measures would bring about a clear change in the state of this area and this process has already begun. Nazim Karachi also expressed hope that the construction of roads and dams in the area would also give boost to agriculture which is the main source of income for majority of people living in these villages. He said that the construction of a model school in Mubarak Village has now entered into its final stages and this school would have the same standard as the Grammar Schools of Karachi.
