PSP chairman said that Karachi has become a wasteland now. Mustafa Kamal against proposed the provincial and district government that he will clean the city in just three months.

“Mustafa Kamal has been removed over misconduct. He was not cleaning up the city but only doing politics. He should have reported to the head office and discussed the formula to clean the city, but he got involved in the ‘china-cutting’ of the department.
“Mustafa Kamal is not a representative of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) that he is asking for documents.
“Karachi is suffering from sewerage and clean water problems, and the administration is working to eradicate them by using the machinery that it possesses.
