Sindh Chief Minister Defends Electricity Poles Amid Media Criticism

KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has once again defended the presence of electricity poles in the middle of roads, responding to ongoing media criticism during the inauguration of the Sindhi Muslim Food Walk on November 1, 2026.

In his address, Shah remarked that the media has become overly focused on the issue of electricity poles, stating, “Today, the media is fixated on these poles, forgetting the larger issues at hand.” He emphasized the importance of addressing more pressing concerns while acknowledging the public’s frustrations regarding infrastructure.

This statement comes at a time when citizens have expressed dissatisfaction with urban planning and public services in Karachi. The Chief Minister’s remarks highlight a growing tension between government officials and media narratives, which often prioritize sensational stories over substantive discussions about governance and public welfare.

Looking ahead, the Sindh government plans to engage in further discussions about urban infrastructure and public services, aiming to address citizen concerns more effectively. Upcoming meetings are expected to focus on improving the city’s infrastructure and enhancing communication between the government and the media.
