Sindh Govt committed to public service, continuity of development: Nasir Shah

KARACHI, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 27th Jun, 2026) Sindh Minister for Local Government Syed Nasir Hussain Shah on Saturday said that the Sindh Government remains committed to public service, continuity of development, strengthening the local government system and ensuring the provision of basic civic facilities to the people.

Speaking during the budget debate in Sindh Assembly, Nasir Shah said that development projects are progressing rapidly across the province and their benefits are reaching the public. He said the Provincial Finance Commission (PFC) 2023 has already been constituted and its regular meetings will now be held to ensure transparent, fair and timely distribution of financial resources among local government institutions. He said that for the first time, the Chief Minister Sindh’s budget speech was delivered and heard in a peaceful, dignified and democratic atmosphere, reflecting the strengthening of democratic traditions in the Sindh Assembly and the government's seriousness in addressing public issues.

He said several development projects, including those in Azizabad, were completed, benefiting thousands of citizens, while construction and rehabilitation work on more than 150 small roads is progressing swiftly to improve urban mobility. He added that the Mayor of Karachi, other mayors, town chairmen and elected local government representatives are effectively serving the people within their respective jurisdictions and that the Sindh Government is extending every possible financial and administrative support to further strengthen the local government system. Referring to the Shahrah-e-Bhutto project, the minister said certain elements are raising unjustified objections despite the fact that the project is not meant for any particular political party or locality but is of national importance, as it will significantly reduce traffic congestion in Karachi, promote industrial, commercial and economic activities and provide modern transportation facilities to citizens.
