KARACHI:

Half of the front lawn of the iconic Empress Market in Saddar has been transformed into a parking place to facilitate citizens and reduce burden of parked vehicles on the roads.

Mayor Karachi Murtaza Wahab announced that KMC has created modern parking system for vehicles in Saddar and is arranging more parking spaces.

Soon, parking facilities will also be introduced at Boulton Market. The parking area at Empress Market can accommodate 600 vehicles, including 300 motorcycles and 300 cars.

It will resolve the major parking issue in the city center, Saddar. This facility will improve traffic flow and provide great convenience to citizens.

Under the slogan of "A New Day and Development Work by KMC," another project has been inaugurated today. "We have decided to address the problems faced by visitors, residents, and shopkeepers here," he said.

The parking issue in the heart of Saddar causes vehicles to park on roads, narrowing the streets and leading to traffic jams. He expressed these views while speaking to media representatives after inaugurating the Empress Market parking area on Sunday. Deputy Mayor Karachi Salman Abdullah Murad, City Council Parliamentary Leader Karamullah Waqasi, Deputy Parliamentary Leader Dil Muhammad, and other elected officials were also present on the occasion.

Mayor Karachi stated, "I am ready to take over the existing parking plaza in Saddar from KDA.
