Karachi (HRNW) — Recent development activities around Karachi Airport have captured public attention. A new runway at Karachi Airport, costing approximately Rs. 8.5 billion, has recently become operational and is being seen as a significant milestone.
Meanwhile, the new International Airport beyond Bahria Town Karachi is under construction and is expected to become operational in around five years. Previously, multi-story constructions were not feasible in areas surrounding Karachi International Airport, but construction of high-rise buildings is now underway. Reports of airport relocation and high-rise development have also led to an increase in plot prices.
Experts say that while these development initiatives are positive for civic convenience and investment, the lack of coordination and transparency in governance remains a concern for citizens. Officials, political opportunists, and some propagandist journalists are influencing city decisions for personal and political gain, often neglecting real public issues.
Experts and residents stress that citizens should not only hear that “Karachi contributes the highest taxes”, but also observe the development and administrative processes firsthand. Public vigilance is necessary to keep governance on track.
This situation highlights the complex interplay between governance, development projects, public interest, political agendas, and investment demands in one of Pakistan’s largest megacities.
