Green Line & The Situation of Karachi
Since February 2016, Karachiites have been looking forward to travelling in this all-new Greenline project. The wait is almost over, but is it all that Karachiites wanted?
On February 26, 2016, the people of Karachi were told that a project will make their lives easier in the city. The project will be called the ‘Greenline Project’ and will run from one end of the city to another. This Greenline project will commute on a completely secluded route, which will make commuting faster, easier & cheaper. For the last 5 years, people only saw the route being constructed but had partially made their peace with the thought that this project will never be completed.
Nonetheless, Mr Asad Umar has announced that the Green Line project will be operational from 25th December 2021. Finally, a sigh of relief for Karachiites. But, was this the first thing that they needed? Was this actually on top of the list for people living in Karachi? No doubt, it has made us all happy, but ‘roti, kapra aur makaan’ would have made us happier. Providing necessities to the people of Karachi would’ve mattered more than the Green Line project.
Many districts of Karachi are facing severe issues when it comes to the distribution of water. There are still several areas in Karachi that face electricity shortages now and then. Before investing in Green Line, the focus should have been more on the roads of Karachi. The roads, which can’t sustain one rain and which breaks down after every couple of months and isn’t laid down again for months. The focus should have been more on streetlights, which either don’t work or are usually flickering. Nevertheless, the focus should have been prioritized per the needs of Karachiites.
However, we hope that the people of Karachi welcome this new Green Line project and own it up. Rather than destroying it, they take care of it and prove that they are responsible citizens of Karachi.
