City suffers with local govt in disarray
Amid delays in LG polls, reshuffles and favouritism, civic issues remain unaddressed
The metropolis is in chaos - or so it would seem to a person visiting Karachi for the first time. Here, the roads are broken, the local administration has been unable to control the prices of food items, there is no proper solid waste management and civic development seems to be in constant limbo.
The situation, however, isn't surprising for the city's residents, aware of the ad hoc manner in which it is being run by what appears to be local government officials in a game of musical chairs, following delays in LG polls.
