38 elementary schools in Karachi lack restrooms, while 14,000 schools in Sindh lack access to drinking water, according to Sindh Education Minister Sardar Shah.
He said, “The government installs solar panels in schools, but they are stolen after a few days,” in response to a number of written and follow-up inquiries about the education department during Wednesday’s Sindh Assembly session.
Ali Khursheedi, the opposition leader, declared that politics will not be involved in the education debate. “We are ready to provide all kinds of cooperation for education.” The Sindh Assembly meeting, presided over by Jameel Soomro, began thirty minutes late. During its session, the House passed the Gorakh Hill Amendment Bill.
The adjournment motion on gas load shedding in Sindh was the subject of a contentious debate throughout the session, and the members also brought up the topic of Karachi’s water crisis in their attention notice.
Enhancing Transportation Infrastructure
Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon stated during the assembly’s proceedings that the Sindh government aims to offer Karachi residents convenient transit options. In Manghopir, the People’s Bus Service is being launched.
“We will operate buses in every area of Sindh.” There are now a few newly launched routes. Additionally, EV bus routes have been extended. He added that the nation is experiencing a severe case of inflation.
Relief for the people is the People’s Party’s top objective. The Orange Line is ready, according to Sharjeel Memon. The Red Line project was put on hold, but as soon as we took office, we started working on it again. He claimed that the caretaker government’s incompetence prevented the Red Line project from ever seeing the light of day.
The caretaker administration performed horribly, but as soon as we took over, we got back to work. Work should be done with passion. He has let the house know that Yellow Line’s work has also begun. The Department of Transportation is operating. According to the minister of transportation, their goal is to have buses operating on every street.
Throughout the House’s proceedings, a number of notices intended to attract attention were also delivered. Rehan Akram, a MQM member, brought attention to the problem of water scarcity in New Karachi and North Karachi. He asserted that disagreements will intensify if there is an unfair and inferior water supply.
