KARACHI: The Imtiaz Superstore’s management has given East Deputy Commissioner (DC) Asif Jan Siddiqui an undertaking that they have parking space for 300 vehicles within their newly inaugurated building’s premises in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, according to a press statement issued by Commissioner Karachi’s office on Tuesday.

The management has assured the DC that they would also donate four car lifters to traffic police officials to lift those cars parked outside the superstore that are blocking traffic. In a high-level meeting held at the commissioner office, it was also decided that all vehicles parked outside the superstore would be fined.

Poor planning: Superstore creates traffic mess

Meanwhile, Siddiqui told The Express Tribune that an inspection team has been formed, comprising the assistant commissioner and representatives from traffic police and Sindh Building Control Authority. He said the team would inspect Shazz superstore at Karsaz, Naheed Superstore at Bahadurabad, Imtiaz Superstore in Gulshan-e-Iqbal and Chase Up stores located at Jail Chowrangi and Nipa. He added that the team would inspect whether those superstores have their own parking spaces.

Rumormonger | 7 years ago | Reply Shopowners care a damn about customers except for depriving them of their hard earned savings. In Saddar area the shopkeepers refuse to cooperate in parking arrangements, saying that "Rizq" is given by Allah. Customer will come anyway if destined. What can you say back in return?
Raisani | 7 years ago | Reply The inspection team will visit like if they don't already know? fine they don't know, they will visit bargain with the store owners raise their bribes and come up with "All is Well" report and that's it. They don't have that moral strength to stop getting bribe and seal those stores.
