Former President ICCI Shahid Rasheed Butt on Tuesday said the federal and provincial governments as well as the city administration has disappointed the masses and business community of Karachi due to their poor performance.

K-Electric, KWSB, and other institutions have shown pathetic performance during the torrential rains which have added to the miseries of masses and resulted in heavy losses, he said.

Shahid Rasheed Butt said that federal and provincial governments and local bodies are struggling to get maximum share in the pie but nobody is ready to feel some responsibility regarding city which is contributing more than 60 percent of the revenue.

He said that the city needs concrete steps to uplift basic infrastructure which has been exposed by the rains.

Rainwater has entered houses, factories, and warehouses and caused a heavy loss to the business community at large while most parts of the city remain without electricity bringing life to a standstill, he observed.

The business leader noted that authorities failed to take any precautionary measures before the rain and now the city needs extraordinary relief measures.

The builders and developers mafia has choked drainage system requiring immediate action by the Sindh government and the departments concerned to ensure immediate drainage.

He further said that electric power should be restored to the areas where water has been depleted while financial assistance should be provided to the industry or millions of workers risked unemployment.

All the stakeholders are responsible for the collapse of infrastructure in Karachi which will hit the economy and masses throughout the country, if immediate steps were delayed, he warned.
