He warned that protests, fixing banners, transporting banners and raising slogans for any reason would not be allowed in hospitals. “Those who do not work will have to go home,” he said.
When commenting on the civic problems of the city, said Wahab, the city government, in coordination with Jamaat-E-Islami and MQM, has decided to eliminate the invasions of the entire metropolis. He specifically added that sometimes, the government’s action is delayed due to judicial orders.
He admitted that unearthering roads before the rains created difficulties for citizens, but confirmed that repair work had already begun.
