Shahbaz pledges to bring Karachi at par with Lahore

KARACHI, Apr 14 (APP):Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif Saturday pledged, if elected to power, the PML-N government will bring Karachi at par with Lahore in terms of development.
Addressing PML-N Karachi Division workers’ convention here on Saturday, he expressed disappointment over poor civic conditions in Karachi.
He said the people of Sindh had tested the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and now they should give chance to the PML-N to serve them.
The Punjab chief minister said no development was visible in Larkana despite the allocation of billions of rupees for the district in the provincial budget.
Shahbaz Sharif said he was visiting Karachi for the first time after assuming responsibilities as the PML-N President, adding that he would soon visit the entire Sindh province.
Shahbaz Sharif said the problems of the farmers of Sindh will be addressed on a priority basis.
He said 10,000MW electricity had been added to the national grid which had overcome the challenge of power load-shedding in the country.
If elected, he said, Karachi would be rid of the piles of garbage and steps would also be taken to improve water supply situation in the metropolis.
