Munam Zafar Khan announced a sit-in at Numaish Chowrangi at 5:00 pm today. The protest targets both deadly tanker operations and unfair e-challan practices.
The JI leader emphasized Karachi’s worsening infrastructure, noting that nearly half the city suffers severe water shortages. He said this has empowered the tanker mafia.
He demanded an immediate end to “blood-soaked tankers” and called on authorities to provide clean water through pipelines for residents.
Munam Zafar Khan reaffirmed JI’s support for affected families and vowed to continue fighting for citizens’ safety, life, and property.
