Prime Minister discusses transport infrastructure and public order issues with KATI
KARACHI:
Sindh Chief Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon visited Korangi Association of Trade and Industry (KATI) on Wednesday where he met industrial leaders to discuss infrastructure, transportation and law and order challenges affecting industrial zones of Karachi.
Welcomed by KATI President Ikram Rajput and other officials, Memon emphasized the Sindh government’s commitment to industrial development and asserted that the economy thrives on the strength of its industrialists. “Taxpayers are the backbone of this country and their concerns will be a priority,” he said.
He acknowledged that past unrest and artificial instability had driven away investments from Sindh, but assured that the province was now on a path of peace and progress. “We are here as servants of the people, not as ministers,” he added, reaffirming the PPP’s philosophy of inclusive governance.
Highlighting renewed investor interest in the Dhabeji Economic Zone, particularly Chinese companies under CPEC, Memon announced that KATI will be formally included in the planning of the upcoming 21-kilometre Yellow Line BRT project to ensure transparency and consultation.
He also noted that Khairpur Economic Zone has received international recognition, reflecting global confidence in the industrial potential of Sindh. Addressing concerns over urban growth, Memon said modern transportation solutions are being developed to support Karachi’s growing population and industrial workforce. The minister assured that law and order improvements remain a top priority and coordinated efforts are being made to create a safe and business-friendly environment in the industrial corridors of Sindh.
