Despite Mayor Murtaza Wahab’s serious concerns, the authorities of the World Bank-funded Competitive and Liveable City of Karachi (CLICK) project have not addressed the worsening condition of key roads after recent monsoon rains. The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has started repairing its roads but has received no response from CLICK regarding its performance.
In August 2024, the KMC sent a letter highlighting the mayor’s concerns about the sustainability and quality of infrastructure developed by CLICK, noting that several recently rehabilitated roads were damaged in the rains. KMC officials stated they had not received any response from CLICK, and when contacted, a CLICK spokesman offered “no comment.”
