As the festive occasion of Eidul Azha approaches, the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has taken a proactive step by offering a discount on the fee for sacrificial animals entering the cattle market. This decision was made during the KMC general council meeting held at the KMC Council Hall on Tuesday, chaired by Mayor Murtaza Wahab and attended by Deputy Mayor Salman Abdullah Murad and Municipal Commissioner SM Afzal Zaidi.

During the meeting, a total of 13 resolutions were passed unanimously. These included congratulatory messages for various individuals, such as Asif Ali Zardari on winning the election as President of Pakistan, Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman on his election as Ameer of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, and Asifa Bhutto Zardari on her unopposed election as Member of National Assembly from NA-207 and her appointment as First Lady. The council also acknowledged Najmi Alam’s appointment as Advisor to the Chief Minister of Sindh and Mayor Wahab’s appointment as spokesperson for the government of Sindh.

In addition to these resolutions, the council approved the collection of parking fees from valet services operating outside marriage halls. The resolutions also included the formation of a 12-member committee to further consider improving the services of KMC hospitals under public-private partnership.

Specifically addressing the fee reduction for sacrificial animals, the council decided to charge Rs600 for every cow, bull, and camel, down from the previous Rs1,000. The fee for goats and sheep has also been reduced by Rs200, from Rs500 to Rs300 per animal.

Furthermore, a resolution was passed regarding the imposition of fees on valet parking services provided by marriage halls. According to this resolution, marriage hall administrations will now pay Rs5,000 to KMC monthly for 400-500 square yards, Rs10,000 for 600 square yards, and Rs15,000 for 1,000 square yards.

In a noteworthy decision, the council also approved naming the pediatric department of Abbasi Shaheed Hospital after Wasila Jahan, honoring her contributions to healthcare.

The meeting also addressed critical issues such as K-Electric’s load shedding and overbilling. A resolution was passed condemning K-Electric’s actions and calling for the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) to take immediate action to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply to Karachi residents. It was proposed that electricity be supplied to Karachi from the National Transmission and Despatch Company (NTDC) instead of K-Electric.

These resolutions and decisions reflect the KMC’s commitment to addressing various aspects of public welfare and urban management, ensuring a smoother and more efficient Eidul Azha celebration for Karachi’s residents.
