Fed up of charged parking? Weigh in

KARACHI: If you would like to give suggestions on how charged parking should be regulated in Karachi, please email NGO Shehri that has been working on the case for over a year. Shehri took up charged parking with the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation with the office of the Provincial Ombudsman. It says that the rates of parking and the sites are arbitrarily determined by KMC without “any active participation of the citizens”. Shehri hopes to incorporate all valid suggestions in a model draft, which will be circulated before being submitted to the Ombudsman’s office. “We, the citizens, are always complaining that we are never consulted by the government in matters affecting our daily lives,” urged Shehri. “Now, here is the opportunity where you can have your voice heard.” Email: [e-mail]
