LARKANA:Due to collapse of sewage disposal system, roads and streets in nine localities were inundated with gutter water on Sunday.
The localities including Kausar Mills, Hussaini Muhallah, Mirani Shah Muhallah, Arbani Muhallah, Hyderi Muhallah, Karam Shah Muhallah and others submerged into sewage water, causing serious troubles for the residents even on the Independence Day.
These localities fall under NA-200 from where PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has been elected as MNA for the first time.
However, when MPA PS-11 Moazim Ali Abbasi came to know about the plight of the citizens of his constituency, he immediately talked to the Deputy Commissioner Murtaza Shah and demanded immediate draining out the stagnant sewerage water.
He further asked that pumping motors installed at the disposal centers must also be replaced so that arsenic water is disposed of in a planned manner.
Later, he told newsmen that Larkana Mayor belongs to the PPP but he is not prepared to work for the betterment of citizens. He said many citizens are considering shifting from the gutter-filled areas because of spread of diseases.
He urged the Sindh Government authorities to take notice of the highhandedness of the mayor and poor performance of the local bodies’ department in Larkana.
