Sindh authorizes Rs 2.9 billion for industrial area development

A budget of Rs 2.9 billion has been authorized by the Sindh government cabinet to develop industrial regions.

Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah presided over a cabinet meeting here on Tuesday to make a number of decisions.
The implementation of third-party auto insurance and the approval of the sales tax decrease from 15 to 5 percent were two significant decisions reached during the meeting.

According to Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, all of the city’s industrial sectors’ roads and drainage systems will be fixed, and open courts will reopen the second week of January.

The chief executive warned that the officials in question would face consequences if the public’s complaints went unanswered.

The Sindh administration had earlier said that double-decker buses would start running in Karachi on Wednesday (today), referring to it as a “New Year’s gift” for the city’s residents.

The statement was made during the opening of the Orange Line and Green Line BRT service link by Senior Sindh Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon. He also visited the Orange Line depot in Orangi Town.

The minister told reporters that this is the first BRT system in Pakistan, allowing users to travel between lines with a single card. “Commuters won’t have to pay twice as much now.”

They can ride the Green Line and the Orange Line with a single card. Our goal is to achieve 100,000 riders per day,” he continued.
