Younus Dagha likely to be made new administrator of Karachi

KARACHI (Dunya News) - Former Finance Secretary Younus Dagha is likely to be appointed the new administrator of Karachi after Mayor Waseem Akhtar’s tenure ends today, August 28.

President Dunya Media Group Kamran Khan said in an exclusive interview that reliable sources have confirmed the decision to make Younus Dagha the new administrator of Karachi.

Kamran Khan said that the federal government has suggested the name of Dagha, who will act freely and independently as the administrator of Karachi. The Sindh government has no objection to his appointment in place of current Karachi Mayor Waseem Akhtar whose term ends tonight.

The Federal and Sindh governments had jointly decided to solve the problems of Karachi, forming a committee in this regard. It includes representatives of MQM, PTI, PPP as well as state institutions.

It is important to note that Younus Dagha retired prematurely last year after serving as a Grade 22 officer of Pakistan Administrative Service (PAS), at various important posts across the country.
