Pakistan, April 30 -- Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab on Wednesday expressed objection to comparisons between Karachi and Lahore in terms of infrastructure and governance, noting that both provincial capitals had different ground realities.

Speaking alongside Punjab Housing Minister Bilal Yasin in Lahore, Wahab said, "When you compare Karachi to Lahore, this comparison is improper because of the population. We get water from a distance of 125 kilometres. Our daily water requirement is 1,100 million gallons per day (MGD), while our daily supply is 550 MGD, and the population continues to grow".

"Therefore, I think that comparing them leads to conflict," he added, calling for both administrations to "work together" and share expertise.
