Public Service

Public service has all along been a passion for me right from my college days. I started writing letters to the editors of major English newspapers way back in 1961 while in college as a freshman. I raised public issues and suggested solutions. I also wrote directly to the presidents and prime ministers as well as government officials to resolve public issues. My letters at times ran into four and five columns in newspapers.

I have been associated with several public service organizations including the Concerned Citizens Association, The Reformers, Consumer Protection Council etc. to help solve individual as well as collective issues through the bureaucracy and judiciary.

I served on the law and order committees of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce & Industry and the Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry for matters relating to public vs law enforcement agencies.

I founded the Citi Help Line to bringabout organizational changes in the working of the key public service organizations in the sphere of electricity, gas, water and sewerage, telephone, police, vehicular traffic management and city district government of Karachi, a cosmopolitan city of over 12 million souls. The primary objective was to remove hurdles and bottlenecks in the working of the organizations so that the people's problems either do not arise or settled expeditiously.

Citi Help Line did not deal with individual problems with its meager resources. Citi Help Line was a great success in removing snags in government procedures and resolving people's problems on a wider scale than just trouble shooting on a case to case basis.

I founded and moderated Good Governance Forum. Its membership rose from 10 to 1000 network members who in turn forwarded emails to their friends and acquaintances bringing the readership to millions in effect. It was an interactive forum and the members shared information, views and opinions via emails.

Our network members encompassed almost all segments of the society including the scholars, media, former ambassadors, former and current bureaucrats, former and current military officers, businessmen, industrialists, philanthropists, politicians, parliamentarians, and so on. The forum helped create public awareness of national and international issues relating to Pakistan and its people.
