PPP and Larkana

Published April 1, 2014

THE people of Larkana lack facilities like education, health, law and order, drainage, roads and cleanliness. It looks like a tribal area where nobody is able to raise his voice for his rights. More than 250 serving and retired employees of the district council, Larkana, are forced to live a miserable life. The staff of the district council has been deprived of salaries and pensions for the last 18 months. They don’t have money to buy food and pay rent of their houses.

Although the employees have registered complaints with the authorities concerned and have staged protests many times, there has been no response.

The PPP should redress their grievances.
