Shelters for the poor

Letter February 08, 2019
There are many — the homeless, the beggars and the impoverished — who are unable to comfort themselves during winters

KARACHI: Cold wave has once again taken over Karachi. While people with the means to afford heaters and winter wear are keeping themselves warm, there are many — the homeless, the beggars and the impoverished — who are unable to comfort themselves during this chilly season.

Shelters to keep the homeless warm have been set up in Punjab and other provinces on the orders of Prime Minister Imran Khan. It is requested that the Sindh government too should take such an initiative and set up shelters that include comforters and blankets that can be collected through donations from Karachiites.
