The Mayor of Karachi Murtaza Wahab, announced on Tuesday that immediate steps will be taken to improve the traffic system in Saddar and other key areas of the city.
Wahab stated that a parking facility accommodating 500 vehicles is to be made operational near Bolton Market after Eid. Further, underground parking adjacent to Polo Ground Baradari, PIDC, and II Chundrigar Road is already open for public use.
He further revealed that a request has been submitted to the Governor of Sindh for railway land to be allocated to the KMC, which would resolve parking issues around II Chundrigar Road. Wahab stated that Karachi's daily increase in population and the number of vehicles are causing traffic problems, leading to the wastage of time and fuel, increasing citizens' frustration.
To counter this, he urged the traffic police administration to deploy more personnel in high-traffic zones for smooth vehicular movement. He said an efficient traffic management system is crucial so that citizens should park their vehicles in designated parking areas.
