Nazim Karachi seek help from private sector
Oct 11th
City Nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal has asked all the national and local organizations including private companies and corporations to join hands with city government in the development of Karachi. We need practical cooperation from these organizations because Karachi is the heart of national economy and developing Karachi would mean developing Pakistan. All civil organizations should therefore “own” their city and play their role in its progress.
