Governor opens shelter home

KARACHI: Sindh Governor Imran Ismail on Saturday inaugurated a shelter home near the Trauma Centre at Dr Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi. The temporary set up will be able to accommodate women and children accompanying patients coming from rural Sindh. The facility is equipped with mattresses, pillows and blankets and offers three meals a day.



While talking to the media, the governor said that such temporary shelter homes would be set up in other parts of the city and across the province. "Keeping in view the winter season, an immediate arrangement has been made. However, permanent low-cost houses with easy instalments would be provided under 'Naya Pakistan Housing Schemes,' to the financially weak segment of society," he vowed.

Ismail said that in Sukkur, the foundation stone for Naya Pakistan Housing Scheme had already been laid and the same would be replicated soon in Larkana, Karachi and other cities of the province.
MPA Khurram Sher Zaman, MPA Jamal Siddiqui, MPA Ramzan Ghanchi and senior representatives of Saylani International Welfare Trust were also present on the occasion.
