Sindh PAC questions Karachi waste management failures; new divisional boards directed
What happened
The Public Accounts Committee reviewed waste management operations in Sindh, questioning why Karachi's waste system, which costs Rs24 billion annually, failed to generate revenue or produce electricity from rubbish. The committee directed the Local Government Department to establish new divisional boards in Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Mirpurkhas, Shaheed Benazirabad, and Larkana.

Why it matters
An audit reviewed by the committee raised concerns over the failure to generate revenue through waste recycling and the absence of arrangements to produce electricity from discarded waste. This points to significant financial and operational deficiencies in the province's waste management infrastructure.
Criticism of the Pakistan Peoples Party's governance failures in Sindh is ongoing, specifically targeting the governance structure of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation.
