KARACHI: The city’s organization is attempting to open and remodel more stops as Karachi experiences sweltering and dry weather conditions – the temperature reached 41.2 degrees Celsius (106 degrees Fahrenheit) two days ago, and the Meteorological Service predicts another heatwave in mid-April.
City director Barrister Murtaza Wahab opened Hasan Musana Aliv Park in North Karachi, Umme-Kulsoom Park in Buffer Zone, Parda Park in North Karachi, and Khawaja Gharib Nawaz Park in Liaquatabad on Friday in Karachi’s focal area. A public-private organization, the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation, restored the parks as part of its 100-park drive.
In September of last year, the Bagh-e-Rustom park in Clifton, Karachi, was opened to the general population.
As of now, 25 of the 100 parks are open to the public, according to the director. “I think the whole point will be met this year with individuals’ help,” he wrote on Twitter.
He proceeded to say that the parks had been shut for a long time and had been “changed over into a waste,” yet that KMC had “reestablished” them so that individuals could “partake in the quiet environmental elements.”
