By Irfan Ali
KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah said on Saturday that 40,000 acres of land was allotted to 5,000 families and the old villages were being leased out to their residents.
“The PPP government will undo the anti-people policies of the past governments and serve the people with the people’s cooperation,” he said while speaking at a public meeting in Mubarak Village.
Under the Gothabad Scheme, the Sindh government has decided to lease out 21 goths of Keamari Town by issuing residential documents and granting proprietary rights. Qaim gave away the proprietary rights and lease documents of six Goths, namely Mubarak Goth, Moonjhar Goth, Moosa Goth, Arif Goth, Murad Goth and Haji Mohammad Goth.
Qaim announced that the development schemes would be planned in Lyari Town’s 1,000 acres of land. He said that under President Asif Ali Zardari’s directive, a medical university and hospital would be constructed in Lyari so the people have access to medical facilities and their children may become doctors.
“We believe in serving the masses, instead of hunger for power. If PPP wants power, it is to serve the people,” he said.
The chief minister said that 7 million women were getting Rs 1,000 per month under the Income Support Programme, adding that 5,000 families got 40,000 acres of land at the rate of 25 acres per family.
“The PPP government will make Mubarak Village a model village. President Zardari has directed that those in the breadline should get all sorts of essential facilities,” said Qaim. He announced that children in the backward areas would get free education, free milk and food in the schools so they get education in a healthy and tension-free environment. He said that the genuine demands of the residents of the constituency NA-239 would be accepted and their problems would be solved. He said that the Hawkesbay truck stand would be shifted, and sewerage and other schemes would be started in Mawach Goth soon.
He said that 41,000 people were imparted technical education and the trained persons would get employment soon.
Provincial Minister for Revenue Jam Mehtab Dahar, Abdul Qadir Patel, MNA, Ghulam Ali Pasha, senior member, Board of Revenue, provincial ministers Akhtar Jadoon, Rafiq Engineer, and Special Assistant to the Chief Minister Rashid Rabbani also spoke at the ceremony.
