Shikarpur needs attention

Author: Daily Times

Sir: A city once called the Paris of the East, was flowed with milk and honey is now being dilapidated because of the lack of proper ministration of higher authorities.

In 16th and 17th centuries, Shikarpur leaves its mark on the pages of history because of its aesthetic cultural heritage and paramount architectures. Whereas, in Kalhora-dynasty Shikarpur was financially stable in central Asia. Many renowned personalities belong to this city such as Shaikh Ayaz a prominent Sindhi poet, Ram Boolchand Jethmalani, an eminent lawyer of India and many other renowned figures.

A city which was once famous for its pulchritude of historical places and its architectures has lost its past majesty. Corruption, maladministration and jobbery in public funds are reasons to have dilapidated this beautiful city. The Sewerage system of city is pathetic all the streets are full with filthy water. Because of stagnant water malaria and other noxious diseases has broken out into the city. Whereas broken and potholes roads are reasons to caused several accident daily. On the other, students and common people have been facing problems on their daily commute because of the pathetic conditions of roads.

It is my plea to higher authorities to look over this dilapidated city and make it as worth as it was.
