Mawra Hocane is not afraid to roll up her sleeves and clean her beloved city, Karachi.
Since last month, the city has seen an unrelenting spell of rain. During the showers, the spotlight was thrown back on the heaps of trash the city churns out daily, left exposed on roadsides in commercial and residential areas. Further compounding the city’s troubles, the garbage also end up choking the drains and water-logging the streets of the megacity.
Official promises have been made to clean up the city, but none have so far been kept.
Hocane, a resident of Karachi, has heard enough. She is now taking matters into her own hands. “For the city I now call home,” she wrote on Twitter, “I’m back in Karachi this week and will do everything I can in my personal capacity or otherwise to clean up beautiful city. Inshallah let’s make it greener and cleaner.”
Her tweet was met with an overwhelming response from Karachi’s residents who are just as fed up.
Syed Ali Haider Zaidi, the minister for maritime affairs, even responded: “Thank u! A glimpse of what he have done so far. This is Mahmoodabad Nala! Sadly garbage is thrown back in it daily, in the dark hours of the night.”
You go girl!
