The families evicted from Sindh Assembly’s servant quarters which were razed to make way for construction of a parking lot for the lawmakers spent another night in the open on Tuesday.

Reportedly, the affected people have pitched tents in front of the razed quarters while women are cooking meals by making fire from wood in the open.

No other accommodation or compensation has been provided to them by the Sindh government whereas no prior notice was issued regarding eviction.
