During a media briefing in Karachi, Sindh Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon expressed strong criticism of the federal government's approach to the city, describing it as one of 'low priority.' He emphasized that Karachi, as Pakistan's largest city and main port, bears significant economic and infrastructural burdens, yet lacks adequate federal attention.

He highlighted the strain on the city's infrastructure due to heavy traffic and migration, noting that the Sindh government is implementing various initiatives to address these issues. Among these are plans to establish a state-of-the-art transport terminal on the Northern Bypass and a dedicated railway line for freight traffic, aimed at reducing congestion in the city center.
