Achievement of such miraculous results is good news to people of Pakistan that all of their problems could be solved with the available resources providing you have purity of intentions and sincere leadership. Performance of city district government Karachi has now become a role model for other cities of Pakistan.

City Nazim said that city government has this year performed even better if compared to previous year’s performance which has been appreciated by whole country. One the biggest success we have got this year has been the active involvement of citizens of Karachi in the whole operation who took their time and personally helped us in the swift lifting and disposal of offal.

Nazim Karachi said that the cantonment boards and other municipal agencies working in the city were also taken on board before Eid-ul-Azha and they have also implemented our code of conduct for the disposal of offal.
