'City Owners' scheme for Karachiites

“You can be a professional, a student, a teacher, an officer, a CEO, a labourer, a vendor or doing any kind of job, you can become the “CITY OWNER”, the only requirement is your spirit to do something in the interest of the masses”, he said. Highlighting the salient features of the campaign, Kamal said that all this was being done without spending a single rupee and cards would be issued to the volunteers for their services in preferred field including education, health, cleanliness, tree plantation, sanitation, traffic control and others.

City nazim mentioned the volunteers would not be allowed to raise complaints and objections but provide two hours in a week if they wanted to take part in the development of the city and bring a decent change in the life of the citizens.  

The citizens of Karachi were urged to register themselves at the designated desks at Civic Centre CDGK Office and Town Offices through Telephone Number 1339 and the CDGK web site where the registration forms are available.

Within a period of two weeks, registered members will be issued to “CITY OWNER” cards and modalities will be finalised to mobilise and depute a large number of expected citizens to the fields of their choice. The City Nazim, today (the Independence Day) will also announced that each year 25 “CITY OWNERS” will be handsomely awarded in recognition of their extra-ordinary services while working as volunteers. Kamal was very optimistic that once this concept succeeded in Karachi it would be replicated throughout Pakistan resulting in overall improvement in the society.
