My article "Drainage disaster" in daily Dawn discusses new drainage project of WAPDA in Ghotki. Wapda has a track record of failed mega drainage projects of LBOD and RBOD in Sindh. The proposed project puts ecology of the Nara canal at risk.

اردو چینلز پر گل پلازہ سانحے کی ذمہ دار سندھ حکومت تھی لیکن پمز سانحے کی ذمہ دار وفاقی حکومت اور وزیر صحت کے بجائے پمز ہسپتال کی انتظامیہ ہے. تعصبی اور منافق میڈیا.
وفاقی وزیر صحت مصطفی! کمال کو پمز سانحے پر فورن استعفا دینا چاہیے. یہ صاحب اپنی ذمہ داریاں نبھانے کے بجائے دن رات الگ صوبہ بنانے کا زہر اگلنے میں مصروف رہتے ہیں. ان کا محکمہ لاوارثی کی حالت میں ہے. وہ خود اس سانحے کی ذمہ داری قبول کرتے ہوئے استعفا دیں.
