Larkana:Residents face trouble due to negligence of the mayor, Larkana Municipal Corporation (LMC) and Chairmen, Union Committees (UCs) as stagnant rainwater and overflowing sewage in most of the areas have neither been drained out nor heaps of garbage has been lifted.
The affected localities include Murad Wahan, Bhains Colony, Shahu Boraho, Nazar Muhalla, Rahmatpur, Gasket Depot, Allahabad, Khaliq Colony, Rasulabad, Hussaini Muhalla, Yar Muhammad Colony, Mumtaz Colony, Faisal Colony, Railway Colony and other areas.
In this connection, residents of these areas Jinsar Chandio, Farooque Soomro, Rafique Kalhoro, Nadim Soomro, Suhail Tunio, Shankar Magsi, Yasir Magsi and others held a protest demonstration here and complained to media persons that the above localities were being step-motherly treated by the Larkana mayor and UCs chairmen which was discrimination.
They said: “Cleanliness is the basic right of every citizen but it is only made in selected areas where influential people live and residents of other localities have been left unattended and they are suffering from various deadly diseases due to uncleanliness and non-lifting of piled-up garbage which can be seen in every street of these areas.”
They said the worst affected was the old locality of Murad Wahan which had become a no-go area for the residents as its main road was filled with highly contaminated overflowing sewage water with the worst smell all around which indeed was intolerable. They urged PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to have mercy on the citizens of Larkana and at least make it as beautiful as Nawabshah has been made.
