The Chief Minister gave Ghani the task of starting an investigation into the roads that were built or fixed after 2022 and have subsequently sustained damage. “This demonstrates that the caliber of the work was not upheld, so they need to be held accountable,” he declared.

The city needs to patch 120 roads, flyovers, and underpasses, including 20 in district South, 22 in East, seven in Central, 38 in West, 11 in Korangi, 12 in Malir, and 10 flyovers.
