KARACHI:
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah said on Wednesday that the province would present budget for just three months on May 10.
He was speaking to media-persons at Kikri Ground in Karachi where he had gone to attend the third death anniversary of Akbar Nagori, brother of MPA Javed Nagori.
Speaking there, Shah said he would present the budget for a three-month period up to September 30, and not for the full financial year.
“The next elected government will have to get the budget for the following nine months approved from the provincial assembly,” he said.
The chief minister spoke about a “worsening law and order situation in Karachi and other parts of Sindh” in previous years, saying that people everywhere felt insecure.
“A targeted operation had been launched in Karachi during the tenure of former chief minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah which turned out to be the most successful operation ever in a city,” he said.

The government, Shah claimed, had liberated the people of Karachi from the sway of target killers, extortionists and terrorists with the hard work and sacrifices of law-enforcement agencies.
He said the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) had lost its cool after witnessing the huge public meeting of PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari at Liaquatabad.
“Now, MQM leaders have announced public meetings at the same venue in a face-saving effort,” he said. “We are not against any political party holding public meetings but the MQM has now realised that its people are not with them now.”

The CM said that efforts were being made to trace ghost employees in local bodies. “Everyone knows who inducted them and which party they belong to,” he said.
Highlighting his government’s efforts to solve the problem of water shortage in Karachi, Shah said it had installed two RO plants to tackle the water shortage in Lyari, adding that some problems had cropped up in these plants, but they had now been resolved.
“Lyari was, is and will always be a PPP stronghold,” he said.
