In a bid to ease the commuting woes of lawyers, the Sindh government has unveiled plans to launch a shuttle service between Malir Courts and City Courts. This initiative is a testament to the government’s commitment to addressing the challenges faced by the legal fraternity.
The announcement came during a meeting between Sharjeel Inam Memon, Sindh’s Senior Minister for Transport & Mass Transit, Excise & Taxation, Narcotics Control and Information, and a delegation from the Karachi Bar Association (KBA). The KBA team, led by General Secretary Ikhtiar Ali Channa, highlighted the transportation issues among other challenges faced by lawyers.
The proposed shuttle service, set to operate between Kabootar Chowk and City Courts, aims to provide a convenient travel solution for lawyers. This move is expected to significantly streamline their commute between Malir Courts and City Courts.
Memon lauded the KBA’s role in upholding democracy and the rule of law, terming their contributions as ‘invaluable’. He also drew attention to the Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) initiatives for lawyers, which align with the visionary leadership of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, known for his belief in the crucial role of lawyers in safeguarding democratic principles and ensuring justice for all, championed the rights of the underprivileged and the independence of the judiciary. Benazir Bhutto, on the other hand, introduced several reforms to fortify the judiciary and bolster the legal profession.
The PPP’s provincial government, in keeping with the policies of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto, pledged to take all necessary measures to resolve the issues faced by lawyers. This shuttle service initiative is a step in that direction, marking a significant stride towards supporting the legal community in Sindh.
