“Please repair and replace out-of-order cameras and non-functional street lights, otherwise I will take action against those responsible for them,” Memon.
Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon, who also holds the portfolio for local government, has directed the KMC administrator to reactivate all cameras, currently lying non-functional, in order to effectively monitor street crime.
He issued these directives at a meeting with all municipal commissioners of Karachi at his office on Saturday.
“Please repair and replace out-of-order cameras and non-functional street lights, otherwise I will take action against those responsible for them,” he said.
The minister also directed the officials to clean the garbage from the streets, remove accumulated sewage and de-silt the choked sewage drains immediately. Memon warned that he would pay surprise visits to different areas of the metropolis to oversee the implementation of his orders.
