Sir: Mubarak Village is a shanty settlement having house made from plywood, corrugated metal, plastic sheets and cardboard boxes. It is a fishing locality of 10,000 people. It is located along the shore of Arabian Sea around 30 km from Karachi city. The residents of the village do not have money to spare for constructing cemented homes and they look towards the government to fulfill their earnest desire of housing scheme. The government earns billion of rupees from the fishing sector but fishermen are not given even a small fraction of their rightful share despite the fact that they are the major stakeholders. During the rains, residents cannot sleep properly in their homes as they become a pool of water. We demand the government to launch a housing scheme for fishermen community as they have been living in abject poverty. SARFRAZ HAROON Karachi
