HEAPS of garbage can be witnessed everywhere in Sasti Basti Mohalla of Larkana where we have been living for 16 years. Besides, the locality lacks a proper drainage system.

As a result, the residents of 160 houses of the area find it extremely difficult to move around.

Sachal Mohalla and Lahori Mohalla are considered the heart of the city but their condition is deplorable.

The authorities concerned should act on an emergency basis.
