KARACHI: Angry residents of Hijrat Colony took to the streets and blocked Mai Kolachi Road for several hours on Monday after a child from the neighborhood drowned in an open drain. An officer at Mauripur assistant commissioner’s office said that three-year-old Muhammad Muzaffar went missing. The family and neighbours believed the child drowned in the drain while he was playing. “We are still looking for the child using heavy machinery,” he said. The nullah is filled with garbage and plastic bags which is making it harder for them to find the boy.
