KARACHI: Sindh Governor Imran Ismail said on Tuesday that the coordination between Centre and province was not seen for expected efforts to resolve Karachi issues, ARY News reported.

Imran Ismail, while talking to ARY News programme ’11th Hour’, said, “The coordination between the Centre and province is not seen for what we are expected for resolving issues of Karachi after the constitution of a committee.”

“We have attempted to save Karachi from more destruction by setting aside all political differences. All sides are responsible for the issues of Karachi and joint efforts are needed to end it.”

The governor criticised that the situation in Karachi could not be improved immediately as it was the result of negligence of 30-35 years. He said that the federal government made a serious effort for uniting all stakeholders for the betterment of the port city.

He said that he remained in contact with the Sindh chief minister. Ismail said that the decision of appointing an administrator in Karachi after consultations from all sides will be acceptable. He also urged that the resident of the metropolis should be appointed as Karachi administrator.

Ismail said that he will oppose any unilateral decision for appointing the Karachi administrator.
