Sindh Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has criticized the federal government, alleging that Karachi is being neglected in terms of infrastructure development, particularly concerning the motorway network. He stated that despite being Pakistan's primary economic hub and port city, Karachi receives "low priority" from the federal government, leading to its infrastructure being strained by national traffic and migration. Memon highlighted ongoing provincial efforts to alleviate these pressures, including projects to reroute freight traffic and develop new transport terminals and railway lines. He also pointed to the completion of the Shahrah-i-Bhutto as a significant improvement for commuters.
The statement raises concerns about the equitable distribution of national infrastructure development and its impact on Pakistan's largest city and economic engine.
