00:00The issues of Karachi are important because it is a mini-Pakistan, the biggest populated city in Pakistan.
00:06And there are a lot of issues there.
00:08The issue of garbage is in its place, the issue of water is in its place, the issue of water hydrants is in its place,
00:14the issue of electricity is in its place, the issue of the destruction of roads is in its place,
00:18the issues related to health are in their place, and then there is the issue of waste,
00:23because of these open manholes.
00:26Children, old people, young people, women, everyone is losing their lives because of these manholes.
00:34If we talk about 2023, 68 people including women and children died because of these open manholes.
00:44Now, this is one issue.
00:45The second issue is that even if they are covered with tarps,
00:50then they are of such poor quality that, in the recent incident,
00:54you can see that the children were playing on the manholes, or they were standing,
00:58so they could not bear the weight of the children, and they sat down,
01:01as a result of which two children lost their lives.
01:03And the rest of the children were rescued, but this is very scientific.
01:07One, corruption is to such an extent that things of poor quality are made,
01:13and then, even if they are covered with tarps, then the manholes are being stolen in such a way,
01:18and where is their tarp being sold?
01:20And even before this, we had talked about this in our morning shows and in the news as well,
01:25that what action has been taken against these open manholes,
01:28because if the tarp would have been taken out, or this frame would have gone,
01:31then it would have been sold somewhere.
01:33What is the reason for this? Who will pay attention to this?
01:35And especially when claims are made that we will make the city a sister state of a particular place,
01:41we will connect it from a particular place, we will develop it in this way,
01:44then these are the basic things that need to be worked on,
01:47because when the attention is on someone, then it affects them the most.
01:51So, in any case, the way the Deputy Mayor will connect us,
01:55we will try to know more from him as to what is happening.
01:58So, Salman Abdullah Murad Sahib, basically, this is such a matter,
02:02if we talk about the numbers of 2023, if we talk about the numbers of 2024,
02:06so far, 13 people have died in this, and this is the area of Memangot,
02:11and this is your area as well, in a way.
02:14So, basically, what is the reason for this?
02:16The media also talks about this when such an incident happens,
02:19but neither can these incidents be stopped, nor can any policy be shown in this regard.
02:25Even now, there are thousands of gutters in the city on which the tarp is not present.
02:28And this is a very serious matter.
02:31Yes, today's incident is a very sad incident, and it was a heart-breaking incident.
02:35I got the information as soon as I got it, and I have reached there on the spot.
02:40And I would like to tell you that this is a private society.
02:43A builder has launched this society, and it is his responsibility to provide the development work,
02:52to provide the sewage lines, water lines, electricity, but he did not do it.
02:59But there, and the incident that took place, I went there, I visited there,
03:05and I saw that in front of his house, he had dug a well for the sewage system.
03:14Okay.
03:15And on top of the sewage system, today, he had held a Niyaz event.
03:21Okay.
03:22And he had held that Niyaz event, and there was a large crowd of children,
03:26and they were distributing langar there, and I asked them why,
03:31and they said that our children had eaten langar here, and because of the crowd,
03:35the roof that was built on top of it broke, and because of that, they fell into the well.
03:40In this, about 8 people fell, of whom 2 children were loved by God,
03:46and 3 were shifted to the hospital, and the rest were rescued, Alhamdulillah.
03:502 were martyred, the rest were rescued and reached their homes.
03:55I am really sorry.
03:57No, but the thing is, it has become easier now that you are blaming that this was a private society,
04:03and there, so whose responsibility was it that he would manage these things,
04:07or the manhole that is being discussed, the cover on top of it,
04:10or take care of the quality, or control the quality, then whose responsibility was this?
04:14No, this was not a manhole, it was a well.
04:17Okay, it was a well.
04:18The responsibility of the private builder, whose society it is,
04:21the responsibility is to make the development work.
04:24Okay.
04:25It was a private society.
04:27So now, what will be the case against him?
04:30What can you do in this regard?
04:32In this regard, the one who is negligent should take action against the builder,
04:37and it is his responsibility that the project that is being launched,
04:42it is his responsibility to make the development work, it is his responsibility.
04:45It is a private society.
04:47So in this regard, I have met with Lawakeem, I have met with Lawakeem,
04:52I am sorry to say, it was a painful incident.
04:54A young man's son's father, his son, that Kandar,
04:59he also passed away, and there was no other death.
05:03And this responsibility was of the builder.
05:05Okay.
05:05This was an isolated incident, in which the responsibility was taken,
05:10but Mr. Amir Zia can also relate, as a citizen of Karachi,
05:14and it is obvious that we will keep looking at one thing,
05:15let's take the example of 2023, 68 people lost their lives.
05:1913 people have lost their lives before this incident,
05:23till now, this year.
05:24So, overall, these problems are present in the city.
05:27Not being able to cover the gutter, or if it is possible, then it disappearing.
05:31And then, Mr. Murtaza, you were saying that you will take action against those garbage men.
05:34So, has there been any progress in that regard?
05:37In this regard, I would like to tell you that we have...
05:41I will try to reconnect with you.
05:43There is a network issue, as I told you earlier,
05:45I think this should be sorted out.
05:47Mr. Amir Zia, would you like to add anything?
05:49Because this is a very relatable issue.
05:53Look, if I may, I would like to say two things.
05:56Yes, please.
05:57First, he said that it is a private housing that has been developed.
06:02If it is private, then there must be a regulator for it, right?
06:07So, the regulator will be the government of Pakistan.
06:09Obviously.
06:10I mean, it will be the government of Sindh, it will be the government of the city.
06:12If someone is responsible, then who is responsible?
06:14I mean, when you gave people the permission to shift,
06:17that people go and live there,
06:19and you did not see that there is a water line there,
06:22there is a sewage line there, there is not.
06:24Even then, the responsibility is of the government of Sindh and Baldia.
06:27This is one thing.
06:28The second thing is that you are absolutely right,
06:30that the unimportant information,
06:32the unimportant information that is available,
06:34that is, whether it is the gutter's lid or the stray dog's bite in this city.
06:39Yes.
06:40Last year, probably, it bit 50,000 people.
06:42Yes.
06:43I have never seen so many stray dogs in the streets of this city
06:47that are now seen in the city.
06:49Now, they are roaming.
06:50Yes.
06:51Now, you tell me, this is unnecessary pain.
06:54The people who sit in a big car do not care about this,
06:57but the poor guy who is riding a motorcycle,
07:00the garbage collector is walking,
07:02a maid is going, a worker is going,
07:04they have a problem, a genuine problem.
07:06Yesterday, a friend was telling me that
07:08we go to work at night,
07:10we leave from one place,
07:12a dog's tail is behind,
07:14then another one is behind.
07:16Now, you tell me, how much pain do the people of Karachi have?
07:19That you do not put the gutter's lid,
07:21you do not give water to drink,
07:23you do not let your dog wander,
07:25you do not let it be picked up.
07:27What have you made of it?
07:29This is what is happening.
07:31You have made this city.
07:33And you are saying that we are making progress.
07:35You see, there is a decay everywhere.
07:37Solid waste management is zero.
07:39You will see in big settlements
07:41where a lot of garbage is being burned.
07:43I am saying the same thing.
07:45Now, these are the problems
07:47that are not in Fafi Darul Ikhwan Islamabad or Lahore,
07:50but are found in Karachi.
07:52So, Mr. Salman has come with us.
07:54Now, tell me, the way I was mentioning,
07:56that these incidents
07:59are happening even beyond this.
08:01I gave the example of 2023.
08:03Then I gave the example of 2024,
08:05the incidents till July.
08:07So, on this, you were telling
08:09that what action have you taken?
08:11And especially the way
08:13the line was not connected,
08:15Amir Zia Sahib was also saying
08:17that the societies also have a regulator
08:19who keeps an eye on them.
08:21The responsibility comes from the government at the end.
08:23See, in this regard,
08:25we have empowered the chairman,
08:27all the town chairmen,
08:29Mr. Murtaza Wahab,
08:31who was the head of the water board,
08:33to make cranks and covers.
08:35This has been going on
08:37for many years.
08:39He has just been regulated.
08:41So, in this regard,
08:43before us, the capitalists in the city
08:45have cut China in this city.
08:47There are shops built on the canals.
08:49I don't know what has happened
08:51with this city.
08:53We used to say that
08:55let's end the politics of this city.
08:57Let's make this city our home.
