A major street, a flyover and a park will be named after Mehdi Hassan in recognition of his services, acting Karachi Administrator Muhammad Hussain Syed announced on Sunday. According to a statement issued by the City District Government Karachi, Syed was visiting the residence of the legendary singer of the country to inquire about his health and also presented a cheque Rs 50,000 to him.

He said that the city government will deploy two male-nurses at the residence of Hassan to look after him round-the-clock. He also announced that the city government will name a major street, a flyover and a park after Hassan and a formal announcement will be made soon. “The projects for this purpose will be identified soon,” he added.
I am glad that Mehdi Hassan is being recognized and being engraved in the history of Pakistan as an artist who has charmed the world.
