KarachiThe party that has ruled Sindh 15 years blames planners.

Karachi’s 25 million people live in a city its chief minister calls ruined.

Roads were declared commercial, and shops now sit on stormwater drains at cheap rent, Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said.

Funds exist to rework 143 roads, but work has not started because of procurement delays, he said.

Officials told a committee in July 2025 the Karachi regional plan would take two years.
