KARACHI: The ongoing renovation and construction work of parks and playgrounds should be completed on scheduled time. Any delay would result in waste of public money, which would not be tolerated. Those found involved in negligence would be dealt with stern disciplinary procedures.
City Nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal expressed these views on a visit to Suleman Yousuf Moulai Park and Ground in Jamshed Town on Thursday. CDGK Parks and Horticulture Department Director General Liaquat Ali Khan and District Officer Education Works-II Saeed Malik accompanied him.
Kamal said that the land mafia has illegally occupied hundreds of plots of land, amenity plots, playgrounds and even those lands that were reserved for bus terminal and thus the citizens have suffered colossal loss of deserving civic facilities.
Kamal said that it was imperative that no parks or playground in the city should be left at the mercy of the land mafia but these should be converted into recreational facilities for the citizens and the next generations.
Kamal said that the Haq Parast leadership has ensured establishment of more than 350 parks in the city during last four years and 16 sports grounds in the city have provided better sports facilities to the citizens.
Kamal added that the citizens of the city deserve best of all facilities for their contribution as regards to development and sustaining the facilities that the CDGK has established.
Kamal lauded the citizens have shown their high spirits as they have actively partaken the project, “I Own Karachi” which has no antecedent in the history of the country.
Kamal on the spot issued directives to the official concerned to carry out fast track completion of the development work of park, playground and cricket academies in union council 7 of Jamshed Town. He further ordered for the installation of floodlights on ground and park.
Kamal reiterated his resolve as he said that the Haq Parast had not entertained any hurdle in the way to city’s development, adding that, “We never allowed any break in the process of development so that the citizens could avail best possible facilities near to their homes”.
Kamal said that besides huge mega development works in the city, special attention was paid on establishment of parks and playgrounds and on creating such recreational activities so that the economic backbone of the country should keep the wheel of industry going and the people of the city could find more opportunities for livelihood.
Kamal vowed that this mechanism has paved ways for combating the terrorism in the city and should be applied at all corners for a better and logic answer to the menace.
The CDGK has so far established 19 cricket academies in the city, which in future would produce players of international rank. Even the Landhi Town, which was once called the suburb has cricket stadium where first class cricket matches have been held.
Kamal said that the Haq Parast leadership has been striving to serve the citizens in a better way so the citizens of the city should reinforce and own their own city.
