KARACHI, Aug 5 (APP)- Nazim SITE Town, Izharuddin has called for effective cleanliness and lighting arrangements at graveyards, shrines and Masajid on the occasion of sacred Shab-e-Barat.

Addressing a meeting of UC Nazims and Naib Nazims and Councillors at SITE Town Council Tuesday, Izhar told them that monsoon rains have started and as such drainage systen in respective UCs should be further improved and cleaning of sewerage drains, nullahs and gutters be completed on priority.

He said that besides graveyards and Masajid, improved sanitary conditions should also be maintained in streets and mohallahs and sewerage water should not be allowed to accumulate.

SITE Town Nazim asked police to ensure better traffic arrangements on Shab-e-Barat so that no inconvenience is caused to people visiting shrines, graveyard and masajid.

He appealed to people to avoid fireworks on this sacred night so that people could offer prayers uninterrupted.

Izharuddin pointed out that people arrange lightings in graveyards through electricians who leave live wires open. He cautioned that it is rainy season and, therefore, live wires should not be left in the open as a little carelessness can result in a mishap.

He urged KESC not to resort to loadshedding on this sacred night and ensure uninterrupted power supply.
