Faisal Moiz Khan, NKATI president, said that sewerage problems are increasing in North Karachi industrial area due to which newly constructed roads which have been constructed under the grant received from Sindh Government, are being destroyed. Therefore, effective and lasting measures should be taken in this regard to prevent the destruction of infrastructure.
Referring to the slaughter house located in Sector 12C, he said that the slaughter house was causing filth and putrefaction which had become a threat to human life. Although the Slaughter House has been shifted to Surjani Town, the existing Slaughter House is no longer needed in the industrial area.
