MQM-P Launches ‘Karachi Bachao’ Campaign, Linking City’s Recovery to National Economy

Recent data show traffic fatalities fell in late 2025 following digital enforcement.

Overview

  • MQM-P unveiled the initiative at its Bahadurabad headquarters, with senior leaders Farooq Sattar, Syed Aminul Haque and Haider Abbas Rizvi outlining goals to address civic breakdown.
  • Party leaders cited battered roads, poor drainage and acute water shortages as urgent failures that disrupt daily life in Pakistan’s largest city.
  • Farooq Sattar argued Karachi generates 65% of national revenue, 95% of Sindh’s revenue and over half of exports, positioning the campaign within a 2026 ‘Battle for the Economy’.
  • Karachi recorded 803 road fatalities in 2025, with deaths dropping 31.7% in the second half as authorities credited e-challans, data-driven enforcement and an accident analysis team.
  • DIG Traffic Peer Muhammad Shah reported daily fatalities declined from three to two, with stricter commercial-vehicle rules and four new fitness centres planned for heavy vehicles.
