KARACHI: The Sindh High Court was informed that two shelter homes were being constructed in Korangi and Malir to accommodate around 400 street children.
A two-judge bench headed by Justice Mohammad Ali Mazhar directed the police to come up with a progress report on Jan 27 about the investigation of cases lodged against a mafia involved in child beggary.
When a petition seeking implementation of the Sindh Child Protection Authority Act, 2011 came up for hearing, authority director general Azeem-ur-Rehman Meo submitted that a shelter home for street children was being constructed on an area of 10 acres in Korangi, where at least 300 kids would be accommodated while another building was also being constructed in Malir to house around 100 children.
