After studying #GutterBaghicha, it’s maps and several old documents it was very sad to learn that #MQM has its biggest share in the encroachment of the largest green space of Asia. The #PPP stands on second position. Gutter Baghicha well of 1938

A glance at the EIA report is enough to point out huge blunders. This EIA is for a project which is depriving thousands of families from their roofs. The company has charged millions of rupees to prepare this report. The NDMA has accepted it and submitted it to Sepa

Participants of a public hearing held on Tuesday to discuss the revamping and restoration of the Gujjar, Orangi and Mehmoodabad storm water drains walked out of it because representatives of the project’s main proponent, NDMA, were absent. thenews.com.pk/print/913116-n… Sepa was said to have carried out a farcical public hearing on the project because not only NDMA representatives but officials of the KMC under whose administrative control these drains fall, the KWSB whose sewage flows in these drains, and the SSWMB were also uncannily absent.

Participants walked out of public hearing of Gujjar, Orangi and Mehmoodabad Nullah projects over the absence of NDMA, @KmcPakistan @sswmb
The public hearing continued with literary six participants and seven Seepa officials. So this is the public hearing of three projects which have already displaced thousands of families. Journalists and reporters are to be blamed as well. I was the only reporter covering this hearing - why the electronic media don’t event bother to send their reporters.
