Protest against poor cleanliness

Author: By Our Correspondent

SHIKARPUR: Activists from the Shikarpur Bachao Tehreek organised a demonstration to protest against the poor state of cleanliness in the district. The protesters marched through various areas and the protest culminated at Lakhi Dar Ghantaghar Chowk. The protesters alleged that Municipal Committee Shikarpur had failed to keep the city clean, as a result of mismanagement and inadequate policies. Almost all the city’s roads were submerged under drain water and damaged roads had made travelling difficult for motorists, the demonstrators said. The protesters urged the municipal authorities to take notice of the issue immediately as it posed a grave threat to the health of city’s residents.
