Larkana problems

Published September 30, 2020

LARKANA has been facing lots of problems owing to the recent rains, as many roads are still submerged in rainwater. Besides, there is a shortage of gas, which has added to the people’s misery.

Despite being THE PPP’s stronghold, the city is a picture of neglect. The recent defeat of PPP candidate Jamil Soomro against Moazzam Ali Abbasi was also a result of this neglect.
