To a query, Saeed Ghani said name of the informers would be kept confidential.
The issues faced by Karachi were deliberately created by some miscreants, he said. He said if the issues of sewerage, water and garbage were resolved from Karachi, politics of “the jugglers” would be ended.
The provincial minister said whoever would help the government identify the culprits by properly recording their video would be given one lac rupees, he repeated.
He alleged that the Muttahida Qaumi Movement and those following them were involved in such acts.
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah on Sept 22 witnessed a gutter at Malir Halt and another behind Avari Tower in Saddar which were filled with heavy stones to choke them.
Water board, after a hard work, had cleared the gutters of stones and boulders. The chief minister CM had said some people were enemies of Karachi and its people.
