He congratulated the party’s office-bearers and workers at city, district and town levels, and those associated with the subsidiary bodies of the party on securing overwhelming victory in the by-polls.

PPP Sindh General Secretary Waqar Mehdi said the provincial government has been working to resolve civic issues in Karachi on a priority basis in accordance with the PPP chief’s vision.
