Thousands registered as 'City Owners'

More than 4000 temporary city owners cards were issued to people by 6 O’clock as enthusiastic volunteers were still waiting in long queue. Permanent cards will be issued after assessing the performance of the registered volunteers in next three months.

“I am moved to see such an enthusiasm of the people of cross section of the society. This has encouraged us.

This is a clear evidence of the fact that people still have the spirit of feeling responsibility and doing service. We cannot give a gift better than this (city owners card) to the people on the Independence Day”, said Mustafa Kamal while talking to media after receiving his membership card.

He noted that people have overwhelmingly responded to his appeal and without any proper publicity, they have flocked Civic Centre and lined up in long queues to get registered as city volunteers.

He said city government has build the infrastructure facilities including flyovers, roads in the metropolis, planted trees, developed parks and laid sewerage system.
