Edhi Foundation pledges 10 ambulances for fire department

Mayor Karachi Wasim Akhtar on Wednesday paid a visit to Edhi Foundation’s office in Kharadar along with Senior Director Municipal Services and other officers.

On this occasion, Faisal Edhi presented the mayor with a memorial coin of Abdus Sattar Edhi – founder of the Edhi Foundation – and also pledged 10 ambulances to the city’s fire brigade.
