Removal of Mustafa Kamal as Project Director Garbage challenged in SHC

Mustafa Kamal, SHC

KARACHI: Move of dismissing former mayor Karachi, Mustafa Kamal as Project Director Garbage on Wednesday has been challenged in the Sindh High Court (SHC). 

The applicant in his plea has stated that Kamal was appointed by Karachi Mayor Waseem Akhtar on August 26 and was removed from his post on very next day, without fulfilling the legal obligations.

“The move of sacking Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) Mustafa Kamal should be declared null and void and he should be given a chance to clean the city”, the applicant further stated in his plea.

On Tuesday, Mayor Karachi, Waseem Akhtar removed Mustafa Kamal as project director for garbage disposal, a day after levying him with the responsibility of cleaning up the metropolis in 90 days.

Fulfilling Mustafa Kamal’s demand, Akhtar had appointed the Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) chairman as project director for 90 days for the proper disposal of garbage from the metropolis.

Young girl’s tragic story makes her symbol of Yemen war

Buthaina Mansur al-Rimi’s life has changed drastically since last year — orphaned in Sanaa, the little girl controversially ended up in Saudi Arabia for medical care and has just returned to Yemen’s capital.
