The protest by the Sujag Shehri Ittehad in Nasirabad continued for the 18th consecutive day, as demonstrators held a rally and demonstration on Tuesday for the restoration of a dysfunctional hospital, a building they claim began to crumble even before completion due to widespread corruption.
At the demonstration held at Cinema Chowk on the appeal of Sujag Shehri Ittehad, participants carried banners, placards, and black flags to express their ongoing frustration with the stalled health project and alleged government apathy.
Addressing the sit-in, the Ittehad’s President Muhammad Rafi Laghari, Senior Vice President Sufi Ghaffar Chani, and General Secretary Asif Katheey accused elected representatives and the health department of being silent spectators. They stated that their movement also targets the severe shortage of doctors and medicines at the area’s rural health center.
Speakers emphasized that corruption is hollowing out public institutions across Sindh, citing the dilapidated taluka hospital in Nasirabad as a clear example of this decay.
The leaders expressed deep regret, highlighting that MPA Burhan Chandio had inaugurated the hospital in 2021 but has since failed to make it functional.
The Ittehad issued a stern warning to the constituency’s MNA, MPA, and the health department, vowing that the protest will continue uninterrupted until the taluka hospital is fully restored and equipped with all necessary facilities.
