CM promises 17,000 plots to homeless in Sindh

KARACHI: Following the vision of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) government promised to provide ‘Roti, Kapra aur Makan’ to the people of the province.

In this regard, the Sindh government started giving lease and ownership to residents of 1,417 goths and katchi abadies in the metropolis, said Sindh Chief Minister (CM) Syed Qaim Ali Shah while speaking at a large gathering here at Pipri on Sunday.

He announced giving 17,000 plots to homeless poor of the province. Shah distributed lease orders to 1,417 ancients goths in the metropolis on this occasion. Leasing these goths in such a large number was not an easy task and we succeeded in it, he remarked.

Shah said that the PPP government always protected rights of labourers and youth and quoted the PPP founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto as saying that the youth were backbone of their party.

“We will provide more jobs through equal distribution of resources,” he said, adding that the PPP government will provide agricultural land of 25 acres to women peasants and also seeds and fertiliser to the flood affectees.

The provincial government also provided Rs 20,000 per family through ‘Watan Cards’ as financial aid to the flood affectees, he added.

Shah said that the PPP government never forgot poor and they would provide all basic needs and employment to the poor on priority basis.

On the occasion, the PPP Karachi Division President Faisal Raza Abidi said, “In the last two months, we fulfilled the promise to lease and provide ownership to the residents of goths and katchi abadies of the city”.

He said that the Sindh government would provide lease to 680 goths in Gadap and Malir, 154 in District West, 73 in Manghopir, 126 in Keamari and remaining 384 in other parts of Karachi that includes ownership to the residents of goths and katchi abadies. After completing the task, about 11.5 million people will get lease in such areas, he added. Abidi announced that remaining goths and katchi abadies will get lease order in the next three months.

He said, “President Asif Ali Zardari had given a three-month timeframe for leasing all goths, katchi abadies and we (government) will ensure implementation within stipulated time”.
