KARACHI (Dunya News) - Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Karachi emir Munim Zafar has said incomplete Red Line Project on University Road is creating inconveniences for the citizens.
In a statement issued here on Sunday, Munim Zafar said millions of dollars have been spent on the feasibility of the project which began in 2016, but it is still incomplete.
“The project was supposed to be completed in 2023. New deadline for the completion of the project is set as 2026, but it is also doubtful.
Karachi's roads and institutions have become victims of mismanagement. Educational and commercial activities on University Road have been severely affected.
Four workers have lost their lives so far due to the Red Line project,” the JI leader said, urging the government to immediately restore University Road to its original condition.
The augmentation of the K-4 project along with the BRT has not been completed. An attempt is being made to enslave the people through feudal system. This style of governance will no longer continue in Karachi.
Jamaat-e-Islami will continue to raise its voice for the rights of the people, he added.
Munim Zafar said the root of Karachi's problems is corruption and mismanagement, adding JI will raise voice against the oppressive system.
He said the right to live has been taken away from the citizens of Karachi, adding, “Accidents have become a daily routine in the city.
Public can see for themselves what is happening in the city. Our vision is construction, development and resistance, this is our agenda.”
