'Itna saaf hona chahiye': Yasir Hussain wants Karachi as clean as Lahore

Pakistani actor Yasir Hussain took to Instagram on Monday as he demanded that Karachi be as clean as Lahore.

Sharing an Instagram story from Lahore, he said: "Karachi ko bhi itna saaf hona chahiye (Karachi should also be clean as well)."

A few days earlier, Yasir Hussain took his disappointment to social media after a recent report by Bloomberg declared the port city's transportation the worst in the world.

Karachi ranks as having the worst public transport system globally, according to a 2019 study by car-parts company, Mister Auto, which looked at 100 major cities, the publication wrote.

Taking a sarcastic approach, Hussain congratulated the authorities for adding another "feather to the cap" as the city already grapples with tons of infrastructural pitfalls.

The Bloomberg report underscores the poor state of the port city and underlines the factors behind its deteriorating infrastructure.

Roads are filled with potholes, not all traffic signals are automated, and it’s common to see drivers running red lights.
