Mayor Karachi Murtaza Wahab appeared in the court and told over 500 generators are lying on footpaths in different areas of Karachi. Some generators are causing pollution due to emission of smoke. These generators are owned by several private institutions, hospitals and banks. Efforts are underway to protect the environment against pollution. All such reasons are being eliminated which are leading to rise in pollution. Justice Mansoor Ali Shah remarked identify such generators which are causing pollution. If generator is lying on footpath then the pedestrian will move aside a bit. The court adjourned the hearing of the case for two months. Online
