KARACHI:
Top leaders of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) tweet that Lyari is close to their hearts, however these Lyari women and children battle various diseases due to overflowing gutters and sewerage lines, and PPP allegedly are not doing much to solve the situation.
In spite of the tall claims by the PPP government, little is being done to improve these conditions.
Sewage water flows freely and settles at the lowest point in most areas of PS 108, from where PPP’s Muhammad Jawaid Nagori won the last election.
No one has ever won against the PPP’s nominated candidates from this constituency.
Residents have reportedly developed skin diseases in Union Councils 1 and 2, mostly children.
Dozens of children have rashes visible on faces and arms. Wastewater on Juma Baloch and Suleman Azaz Road has made lives miserable.
“Our children play outside the homes from where they contract skin diseases,” said a resident , adding that around 50 children near his home had developed skin diseases over the last few months.
