Abandoned Karachi School Becomes Haven for Drug Addicts Amid Neglect

KARACHI: The Sabri Government Primary School in Karachi’s Baldia Town 2 has fallen into disrepair, becoming a refuge for drug addicts due to years of neglect. Once a vibrant educational institution, the school now stands desolate, its structure deteriorating and its purpose forgotten.

According to ARY News, the school has not served its educational function for years, leaving the building in ruins. Local residents express concern over the safety of the area, as the abandoned school has become a gathering spot for individuals engaging in substance abuse. “This was once a place of learning, now it feels like a haunted house,” lamented a local parent.

The implications of this neglect extend beyond the physical structure; it reflects a broader crisis in the education system and public infrastructure in Karachi. With many schools facing similar fates, the future of education in the region hangs in the balance, raising alarms about the potential for increased crime and social issues in the community.

Local authorities are urged to take immediate action to address the situation. Plans for revitalizing the school and ensuring it serves its intended purpose are crucial for restoring community trust and safety. Stakeholders are calling for a meeting to discuss potential rehabilitation efforts and funding sources to bring the school back to life.
