Senior Minister discusses transport infrastructure, law and order issues with KATI
KARACHI:
Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon on Wednesday visited the Korangi Association of Trade and Industry (KATI) where he met with industry leaders to discuss infrastructure, transport and law and order challenges affecting Karachi’s industrial zones.
Memon was welcomed by KATI president Ikram Rajput and other officials and emphasized the Sindh government’s commitment to industrial development, saying the economy thrives on the strength of its industrialists. “Taxpayers are the backbone of this country and their concerns will be prioritized,” he said.
He acknowledged that past unrest and artificial instability had driven investment away from Sindh, but assured that the province is now on the path to peace and progress. “We are here as servants of the people, not as ministers,” he added, reaffirming the PPP’s philosophy of inclusive governance.
Highlighting renewed investor interest in Dhabeji Economic Zone, especially from Chinese firms under CPEC, Memon announced that KATI will be formally included in the planning of the upcoming 21-kilometer Yellow Line BRT project to ensure transparency and consultation.
He also noted that Khairpur Economic Zone has received international recognition, reflecting global confidence in Sindh’s industrial potential. Addressing concerns about urban growth, Memon said modern transportation solutions are being developed to support Karachi’s growing population and industrial workforce. The minister assured that law and order improvements remain a top priority and coordinated efforts are underway to create a safe, business-friendly environment across Sindh’s industrial corridors.
