Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said the provincial government is preparing master plans for Karachi and Hyderabad to ensure their development follows an organised approach. Addressing a ceremony on Saturday, he said the Sindh Master Plan Authority had been working on the initiative for a long time.

Referring to illegal constructions along Karachi’s drains, Murad Ali Shah said shops had been built on drainage channels and handed over to people, creating serious problems for the city. He said urban development and infrastructure issues had increasingly attracted media attention. He also noted that a ring road was being constructed in Hyderabad. The chief minister reiterated his commitment to working with all stakeholders to improve Karachi and resolve its urban challenges.
