Gwadar area

Published November 16, 2019

THERE is a vast residential area in Gwadar called Kulanchi Para which is nine kilometres away from the harbour. Thousands of people have been living here since 1980. However, these residents still don’t have proper facilities.

Many governments came and went during this time but no one did anything.

It is unimaginable but people here have been living without electricity, clean drinking water, basic healthcare and education facilities.

The authorities should look into this matter.
