SUKKUR, (MILLAT+APP):- Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah
distributed solid waste vehicles among the administrations of Sukkur, Rohri, Shikarpur, Khairpur and Larkana.
The ceremony was arranged by the North Sindh Urban Services Corporation
(NSUSC) at Public School, Sukkur.
Addressing the participants, the CM said that we have invested a lot of
funds in the NSUSC and hope to see a positive change in the next three to six months.
However, the performance of the utility will be judged by the residents
of the cities it serves, he added.
In the past, he said, the performance of the NSUSC has not been
impressive and therefore nobody was happy with it. Fifteen days ago I had chaired a meeting in this regard and gave guidelines to the utility, said CM, adding that he hopes that if his directions are followed properly a difference will be made.
The CM further said that we all are here to serve the masses and
therefore we expect a good delivery of services by all the departments.
He said that large scale recruitment have been made in the NSUSC and the
employees who were not willing to work should quit.
Speaking on the occasion, former MPA and chairperson of the board of
directors of NSUSC Haji Anwar Mahar welcomed the chief minister and said that the utility has spent approximately Rs 610.60 million for the purchase of 501 solid waste vehicles.
Mahar said funds for the project have been provided by the Asian
Development Bank and Sindh government, he said. It is our endeavor to provide the best available civic services to the people and, in this regard, the cooperation of the Sindh chief minister is laudable, he said.
Sukkur Mayor, Arsalan Shaikh said that now that the solid waste
management has been mechanized, the process has become easier and faster.
He said that 501 vehicles have been purchased in the first phase, while
more vehicles and equipment will be purchased in the second and third phases.
