      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mayor Karachi Murtaza Wahab has announced taking responsibility for repairing and maintaining 106 roads that fall into the jurisdiction of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking at a press conference at the KMC Building, the mayor said that complete details of these roads, including concerned officials, contractors, and costs, have been uploaded on the KMC website.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He added that WhatsApp numbers and a dedicated helpline (1339) have also been provided for citizens to lodge complaints regarding damaged roads.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Every district has been assigned a separate contractor under an annual contract. Wherever a road is broken, the respective district’s contractor will carry out repair work,” Wahab said. He added that he, along with the deputy mayor, will personally monitor the projects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The mayor said that work on the 106 roads will begin from Monday, with a deadline of 60 days to complete the repairs. “We will not compromise on quality. If citizens see any road in bad condition, they can hold us accountable,” he assured.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wahab further said that contracts for the maintenance of roads and streetlights have also been finalised, while details of neighbourhood-level development schemes have been made available online for public transparency.&lt;/p&gt;
