A former director of Karachi’s Yellow Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project has been accused of irregularities amounting to 8.5 billion Pakistani Rupees (approximately $30 million USD). The allegations center around financial mismanagement and potential corruption during the project’s implementation. Authorities are investigating claims of illicit funds and deviations from established procurement procedures. The Yellow Line BRT is a key infrastructure project intended to improve public transportation in the city. This scandal raises concerns about accountability and transparency in large-scale development initiatives within Karachi. Further investigations are underway to determine the full extent of the alleged fraud and identify any other individuals involved. The accusations could potentially delay future phases of the BRT project.
