KARACHI, Feb 15: Residents of New Karachi have appealed to the Capital City Police Officer to take notice of the activities of anti-social elements who have set up mini cinema-houses in tea stalls and small shops.

They said students of Government Boys School, 5-E New Karachi, are exposed to these anti educational activities as the entire area had become a heaven for Dabboo club owners, mini-cinema houses etc.

According to residents, some four hundred pupil study in this school and another Government Maqbool Girls Primary school is housed in the same premises.

A large number of Dabboo clubs, foot-ball games, video game shops and mini-cinema houses sprang up during the last six months or more. Children can be seen playing or watching obscene films screened at the make-shift mini-cinema houses, residents complained.

A resident said that whenever any person raised voice against the menace, anti-social elements force him to leave the area.

They asked the Town Nazim, North Karachi, to remove these encroachments along the walls of the school.—APP
