Larkana in a mess

Published September 28, 2013

LARKANA has been really transformed into an unmanageable mess. It still has Moenjodaro-like drainage system. Rains here fall like wrath on residents as sewerage water streams out on roads and even inundate their houses.

Owing to lack of infrastructure two to three hours of continuous rainfall turns Larkana into Venice. In the absence of traffic signals, vehicles here run on roads like wild horses and are found locking horns with each other as there are single track roads. Streetlights here are a far cry.

Does the home soil of two former prime ministers of Pakistan and founder of the PPP, the party which has been ruling Sindh since the 1970s, deserve this?
