Priority issues & challenges
1. Road infrastructure
Intra-city road networks suffer heavy commercial traffic, severe waterlogging, and inadequate municipal storm drainage systems.
2. Water crisis
The urban center faces a critical shortfall in piped water supply alongside severe microbial contamination in the aging public distribution lines.
3. Health
Public hospitals are critically overwhelmed, facing severe specialized doctor shortages per WHO benchmarks.
4. Unemployment
Educated youth face limited industrial employment choices, resulting in a high structural white-collar unemployment rate of approximately 28%.
5. Environmental challenges
Unregulated municipal sewage dumping and industrial runoff from local SITE areas directly degrade the water quality of the adjacent Indus River.
