Karachi: Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) Karachi acting emir and opposition leader in the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation, Saifuddin Advocate, on Sunday said that JI-administered towns in the city had emerged as examples of transparency, development and public service despite facing shortages of funds and administrative powers.He was speaking at the inauguration of Hakim Mohammad Yamin Siddiqui Road, developed by the Model Colony Town Municipal Corporation from Malir Halt to the Saudabad gas station area.Accompanied by JI district Airport emir Mohammad Ashraf, acting Model Colony town chairman Faisal Basit and other party leaders, Saifuddin Advocate said the Sindh government was unwilling to devolve adequate powers and resources to local governments, but JI's nine towns had nevertheless demonstrated visible improvements in roads, parks, streetlights and schools.He criticised the Pakistan Peoples Party-led provincial government, alleging that despite an annual budget exceeding Rs3.5 trillion, Karachi residents rem ained deprived of basic civic amenities including clean drinking water, sanitation and road infrastructure.'Karachi's destruction is not due to a lack of resources, but because corrupt and incompetent rulers have occupied the city's resources,' he said, adding that citizens were forced to protest even for garbage collection, drain cleaning and sewerage maintenance.Earlier, Saifuddin Advocate inaugurated the renovated Haroon Model Market under the North Nazimabad Town Municipal Corporation along with JI district Central emir Syed Wajih Hasan and North Nazimabad Town chairman Atif Ali Khan.Addressing the ceremony, he said the reconstruction and beautification of the market showed that even limited resources could be utilised effectively if managed with honesty and competence.He said JI's 'Haq Do Karachi Tehreek' aimed to ensure that Karachi's resources were spent on its residents and that administrative authority was transferred to the grassroots level.While welcoming the opening of Shahrah-i-Bhutto, he said Karachi still urgently required improvements in water supply, transport, sewerage and road infrastructure.
