Summary The provincial government plans to construct a new parking area at the Sindh Assembly.

KARACHI (Web Desk) – Pleas of affectees of Sindh Assembly’s servant quarters go unheard on third day after their apartments were razed to construct a parking area for the provincial lawmakers, Dunya Nws reported.



Residents of servant quarters including mothers and children have spent nights under the open sky, vowing to continue their protest until the PPP-led Sindh government provides alternate houses.



Tents have been raised in front of the razed quarters to hide the scene from visiting members.

According to details, no other accommodation or compensation has been provided to the residents by the Sindh government whereas no prior notice was issued regarding eviction.

Protesting residents said that contrary to their promise of Roti, Kapra Aur Makaan, the Sindh government has snatched everything from them.

Other PTI members of Sindh Assembly Khurram Sher Zaman and Seema Zia also reached the spot and expressed their sympathies.
