KARACHI:
Sindh Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has taken a bold stance following the tragic death of three-year-old Ibrahim, who fell into an uncovered manhole in Karachi. Speaking publicly, Memon said that as a minister, he also bears responsibility, and if any negligence is proven on his part, punishment is justified.
The incident has shocked the city and sparked widespread outrage. Citizens and opposition lawmakers have criticized municipal authorities for failing to maintain safety measures, highlighting how preventable accidents like this continue to occur.
Memon assured the public that the government has ordered a full inquiry into the tragedy. “Whoever is found responsible will be held accountable,” he stated, emphasizing transparency and strict action against negligence.
The minister’s statement has been widely discussed on social media, with many praising him for accepting responsibility, while others continue to demand stronger systemic reforms to prevent similar accidents in the future.
As the inquiry unfolds, Karachi residents are closely watching whether the tragedy will lead to meaningful changes in city safety protocols — and whether officials will be held accountable for lapses that cost a young life.
