Street inmate

Author: Daily Times

Sir: Pakistan is a coutnry where 10 persons poor people sleep without food and 20 persons sleeps on footpath in a miserable condition. Lahore is one of those cities where the condition of poor people is alarming.

In the past, none had paid any attention to the pitiable conditions of the homeless people, majority among them are labourers who spent nights on footpaths and at different areas of Lahore including Shahdarah, Ichra, Data, Darbar etc.

But now the government of Pakistan Tahreek Iinsaf (PTI) is going to make a Naya Pakistan and trying to implement justice because no society could prevail without human consideration for its down-and-out segments.

Thus, I really appreciate Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran khan who had identified five spots in Lahore for establishment of “Panah Gah” and expressed the confidence that soon, it would be turned into a center of excellence. Not only poor will be given shelter but also will provide food to everyone along.
