He warned that protests, fixed banners, carry posters and raised slogans for some reason would not be allowed in hospitals. “Those who do not work will have to go home,” he noted.
By commenting on the city’s bourgeois questions, Wahab said, the city government has coordinated with Jamaat-E-Islami and MQM decided to remove intervention from the entire metropolis. He specifically added that the government’s action is sometimes delayed due to the judicial decision.
He admitted that digging by roads before the rain created difficulties for citizens, but confirmed that repair work had already begun.
