No way to live

Published October 12, 2019

PAKISTAN’s largest city Karachi is under the grip of pollution owing to lack of the government’s environment-friendly policies. Air, marine and noise pollution are rising with each passing day as there are no proper checks. From the city of lights, it has turned into a city of dust and smog.

There are heaps of garbage, overflowing gutters and dirty streets wherever you look.

This is no way to live.

People need to band together, make committees or neighbourhood groups to at least clean up their neighbourhoods.
