Karachi Metropolitian Corporation

in District Keamari of Karachi, under the COVID-19 Emergency Grant of Component-1. The proposed subproject is the main arterial road of access to all residential community living around the road and the KANUPP. Although this access road is divided into two carriageways, the central island is missing in a small wider section towards the end of the road. In addition to that due to lack of repair and maintenance, there is a need for rehabilitation of the existing road and provision of the necessary road furniture and utilities.

The Mai Kolachi Road is a main arterial road of Karachi and was illuminated
with street lights. However, due to lack of maintenance, stealing of cables
and accessories and some road accidents this main arterial road is present
without proper street illumination. The lights, which were previously
installed (having high watts power from 1000 watts to 4000 watts), consume
very high power. Being located near the sea-side, the electric poles and
their arms also get rusted if not repainted frequently.
Considering the law-and-order situation and to provide illumination
to the daily road commuter, the KMC is planning to rehabilitate the
streetlights by providing LED lights, overhead cables, painting of poles and
other accessories.

During the years 2000 to 2011, in order to ease the traffic inside the city
and to minimize the travelling time, various flyovers and underpasses were
constructed in the city of Karachi. With the passage of time, the expansion
joints provided on various flyovers have broken down or are damaged badly,
rendering them unserviceable. The steel gratings provided at drainage
channels at underpasses have been stolen at various places resulting in
traffic hazards and discomfort to road users along with traffic congestion
at bridges and underpasses.
To maintain the traffic flow and to provide comfort to the users,
the KMC is planning to replace the broken/damaged expansion joints with mono
block joints and installation of gratings (composite fiber material offering
no room for stealing) at under passes.
Tentative cost of the sub project is around PKR.100.00 million.

The Agha Khan Park is surrounded by houses and provides a sort of
recreational facility to the local residents. In this park, a small open
space is available, which can be used for a badminton courtyard. As for
females, considering religious values, some closed and separate space is
required for sports activities. To achieve this goal, in this phase KMC is
planning to construct a badminton court for women.
As per tentative estimation the cost of proposed of sub project
Badminton Court at Agha khan Park is approximately 15.00 million PKR.
