Sindh Govt. is taking serious steps for the development of the whole province and has taken many initiatives like Karachi Transport Issues Solutions, illegal constructions demolition, Nasla tower, and Tejori Heights Karachi Case to solve public problems and to improve facilities standards. In this regard, Sindh Chief Minister on Saturday inaugurated the renovated “Manora Waterfront Beach” at the cost of Rs 650 million under the project namely “Improvement of Waterfront Development at Manora Beach”. The Manora Beach after the renovation has turned out to be one of the most beautiful recreational places in the area to provide safe secure and clean facilities to individuals and families alike, said Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah at the occasion of inauguration. “We are planning to develop a jetty at Sea View to start a ferry service from the Clifton Area to the Manora Beach Karachi,” he further informed.
The participants of the inauguration ceremony include Sindh Local Government Minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah, Karachi Administrator Murtaza Wahab, Education Minister Syed Sardar Ali Shah, Minorities Affairs Minister Gianchand Essarani, Works and Services Minister Zia Abbas Shah, Livestock and Fisheries Minister Abdul Bari Pitafi, and others. The CM said that due to lack of facilities only a few people turned up at Manora Beach before the renovation work as there were no suitable places for enjoyment like sitting spaces, dining areas, shades, toilets, and other places of recreation.
The CM said that the renovation of Manora Beach would not only attract more and more visitors but also gear up economic activities in the area “This eventually will increase visitors and improve the development of this area” he also added that Karachi beaches are the major source of public attraction in the metropolitan city. The CM further added that owing to lack of recreational venues the masses especially the middle and lower-middle-class had to resort to only Clifton, Sea view, and Hawkes Bay which were not developed enough to provide entertainment to the public, but now he said after the Renovation of Manora Beach with latest amenities, things would change altogether. He said, “Since these destination areas are just beaches and not developed, they got stale and there was a dire need for some new developments,”
The chief minister said that two years ago when he visited Manora and was given a detailed briefing about the need for Karachi Beach Development. “Despite Covid and other issues we developed the area,” He further added that Manora Beach has a rich history. “It is said that the fleet of Alexander the Great had anchored at Manora and then during the Talpur era a port was developed to protect the city.” He added. The CM said that after completion the beach would be handed over to Manora Cantonment and hoped that the beach would remain open for the general public.
