KARACHI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Oct, 2023) Mayor Karachi Barrister Murtaza Wahab on Tuesday said that the buildings, roads and places named after prominent personalities will not be allowed to be changed under any circumstances.
He expressed these views while inspecting the ongoing development works and carpeting in the Johar Underpass.
Barrister Murtaza Wahab said that it was not appropriate to change the Names of buildings and institutions named after important personalities. Naming requires legislation and this authority is vested in the respective local bodies.
He said that the paving of the roads around the Johar underpass should be completed soon as timely completion of the work will help to control the traffic jam problems.
He said that if there is a flyover or underpass in the name of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, Begum Nusrat Bhutto or Zia Mohiuddin, then these personalities have services for the country and nation.
If someone wants to change these names, it will be their misunderstanding.
The Mayor Karachi said, "The development works of the city are our first priority and we consider it our duty to carry out the development works equally in the city."
He said that the construction work of Johor underpass should be completed as soon as possible so that it provides convenience to the people of the area.
He said that mega projects are being started in the city and construction work is being accelerated.
The Mayor Karachi inspected the ongoing construction work of the underpass and issued instructions on the spot.
