The development work in Koarngi industrial area is due to start very soon as the initial Rs100 million funds for the purpose would soon be released by the KMC, said Town Administrator Korangi A Sami Khan. This he stated while executing CPLC-Neighborhood Care project initiated by the industrialists of Sector 23 led by CEO Maple Pharma Shafiuddin Feroz. Khan said that the construction of Road 5000 would start very soon followed by carpeting of Road 2000. He said the town administration was awaiting funds from the Annual Development Plan following which several projects relating to infrastructural development would be taken up. Khan appreciated the initiative of Sector 23’s industries to establish CPLC-NC project for their security. Chairman KATI Zubair Chhaya said as the Governor Sindh was very keen to establish the projects in industrial areas, KATI was supporting and assisting its members to contribute in such projects so that the ever-increasing crime in KIA could be curbed. He said though KATI members were contributing towards CPLC-NC and various civic works in their areas but the KMC and town administration’s support was mandatory. The administrator said the industrialists were ready to pay the KMC’s infrastructure development tax provided the KMC take up development works and complete the ongoing projects. CEP Maple Pharma Shafiuddin Feroz said the industries were suffering due to crime incidents in the area where the infrastructure was extremely poor. He said industries in KIA were exporting goods worth hundreds of millions of dollars yet they were deprived of basic civic facilities. He urged the government to take up development works in KIA.
