Administrative system in Sindh paralysed by corrupt system: ABAD

KARACHI: ABAD Chairman Muhammad Hanif Gohar has criticized a corrupt system that has crippled the administrative structure in Sindh, highlighting widespread extortion and land-grabbing in Karachi. At a ceremony for ABAD's newly elected office-bearers, Gohar expressed concern over the failure to commercialize 26 roads despite Supreme Court orders, stating that no builder has yet been able to get a plot commercialized, describing the situation as alarming.

He condemned the non-implementation of judicial orders and urged relevant institutions to resolve the issue immediately, urging effective measures against corruption and extortion. Gohar emphasized that protecting builders' and developers' businesses and allowing them to operate without fear is the government's and law enforcement agencies' responsibility.

He called for comprehensive measures to start commercialization in public institutions without bribery, ensuring builders do not face unnecessary obstacles in their lawful business activities. ABAD has consistently raised its voice against injustices in the sector, Gohar added, and highlighted the need for structural safety audits of school, hospital, and office buildings, describing the failure to identify dilapidated buildings as serious administrative negligence.
