Tenants express concern over lack of facilities in the Muhammadi House

KARACHI: Tenants of the 10-storey Muhammadi House on I.I. Chundrigar Road have expressed deep concerns over lack of basic infrastructural facilities which, according to them, is militating against the success of their entrepreneurial ventures. They have also complained that a number of unpleasant steps taken by the building management recently have added to their problems.
Addressing a press conference, leading businessman Muhammad Yahya Polani enumerated the problems being encountered by the tenants of Muhammadi House and urged the concerned authorities to take necessary measures to redress their woes. Polani also appealed to the prime minister to take notice of the plight of the building that houses offices of many well-known companies.
Major complaints include: Muhammadi House is the only high-rise building on the I.I. Chundrigar Road with no elevator. Despite repeated promises in regard to provision of an elevator, the building management has not yet taken any steps towards that; The back entrance/exit has been permanently closed; and the prayer area on the ground floor has been closed for congregations.
