He said that urgent repair of roads is also necessary to ensure export goods transportation to ports as well as for the supply of raw material to industries.
Abdul Rasheed further said that torrential rains have affected the entire city of Karachi to which, SITE area is no exception. Plying of loaded trucks & large vehicles on the broken roads having big holes is no more possible. Loaded trucks overturn, causing losses to industrialists and posing threat to human lives.

He has appealed the Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah, Administrator KMC Barrister Murtaza Wahab and Managing Director SITE Limited to take immediate notice of the situation and issue orders to start roads repair work in SITE area on priority basis.
