A four-member-delegation of the Al-Khair Foundation, UK, in a meeting with Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah, proposed to install 40 reverse osmoses plants in Karachi.
CEO and founder Imam Qasim said the foundation would install the RO plants with the approval and support of the Sindh government in water-starved areas of the city.
He said the foundation would meet all the financial requirements, while the government had been requested to provide them with a small plot to install an RO plant.
The chief minister appreciated the delegation`s proposal and said, "We are trying our best to serve the people of the province in general and of Karachi in particular, but the government cannot do everything alone. The private sector and the civil society must share the responsibility," he said.
The foundation chief, Imam Qasim, informed the chief minister that they were already working in Tharparkar where 170 water wells in four tehsils had been built. "Our work and services are for humanity," he said.
The chief minister directed the Karachi commissioner and the KMC administrator to support Al-Khair`s projects.
