The residents of Block-B, North Nazimabad, are perturbed by the private schools mafia and other educational institutions operating in a purely residential neighbourhood.
More than 20 schools, colleges and a university campuses have been established and new ones are opening every year.
In the morning and afternoon, all roads are blocked owing to traffic congestion and we are unable to enter or leave our homes. In case of an emergency, we are helpless.
We have approached the director-general, Sindh Building Control Authority, deputy commissioner, central district, PTI MNA and MPA of our area to get rid of this nuisance, but all in vain.
We request the chief justices of the Supreme Court and Sindh High Court to take suo motu action against these illegal schools operating in a residential neighbourhood. All government departments and elected representatives are silent on our plight.
