Larkana condition

Published December 31, 2018

FOR Sindh, Larkana is an important city. It is where the province’s leaders, activists and martyrs come from. However, owing to the disgusting situation in the streets i.e. trash everywhere, illnesses such as diarrohea, cholera and typhoid are on the rise.

I appeal to the government of Sindh and the local government of Larkana to do something about this. They can easily eradicate these diseases from the city limits by keeping the streets and sewers clean.
