Commissioner Karachi assures to consult KCCI for resolving issues

Commissioner Karachi Asif Hyder Shah has said that keeping in view the massive size and diverse ethnicity of this city, it was a huge challenge to deal with civic issues but efforts will be made to resolve issues by regularly consulting with Karachi Chamber in order to provide some relief to the Karachiites.

"During my tenure as Commissioner which may last up to three to four months or may be more, I may not succeed in resolving all issues but it will be my utmost willingness to at least effectively deal with any two to three major issues on long term basis and bring them to an irreversible level", he added while exchanging views with the representatives of business and industrial community of Karachi during his maiden visit to the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI).

Chairman Businessmen Group & Former President KCCI Siraj Kassam Teli, Vice Chairmen BMG and Former Presidents KCCI Tahir Khaliq, Zubair Motiwala & Anjum Nisar, President KCCI Younus Muhammad Bashir, Senior Vice President KCCI Zia Ahmed Khan, Vice President KCCI M Naeem Sharif, Former Presidents KCCI AQ Khalil & Abdullah Zaki, Senator Abdul Haseeb Khan, Haji Ghani Usman and KCCI Managing Committee members were present at the meeting.

Referring to concerns expressed during the meeting, Commissioner Karachi said that he was currently not in a position to make any commitment but will try his best to resolve issues highlighted at the meeting. "I don't want to make any commitment right now as I don't want to face humiliation later on failing to fulfill my commitments due to any reason but I will try my best to resolve issues. It will be one of my top priority to regain confidence of Karachiites and bring it to a level where people should feel confident about getting their issue resolved to certain extent after bringing it to the notice of Commissioner Office or any of my subordinate department", he added.
