Pakistani celebrities have taken to Twitter to support Federal Minister Ali Zaidi’s campaign #LetsCleanKarachi to clean the metropolis in two weeks.
In the wake of the first spell of monsoon rains in Karachi, most parts of the city are exhibiting a view of Venice. No matter you live in a posh area or a shantytown, the streets in front of your house must have flooded due to rains, and due to the absence of a proper sewage system, the roads have converted into stagnant pools of the mixture of rainwater and sewage water.
Keeping in view the harrowing condition of the city, Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Ali Haider Zaidi took to his Twitter account to announce that the government is planning to launch a campaign entitled Let’s Clean Karachi to try restoring the city in two weeks.
Inshallah with the help of the citizens of this great city, we will clean up Karachi from trash in the next 2 weeks. #LetsCleanKHI
