📍Malir Demolishing houses and the Sayed Hashumi Reference Library at Gulam Muhammad Goth Malir is atrocious for the indigenous people of Malir, the Balochi language, and cultural heritage. Steps have been taken by the surveyors of the Malir Expressway, a road construction project by the Defence Housing Authority, a multi-billion housing scheme to demolish Goth Gulaam Muhammad. The DHA has previously been involved in disrupting the ecology of Malir by forcibly vacating many villages in the area. Recently, they have marked several houses and the Sayed Hashumi Reference Library for demolition and deployed heavy machinery to carry out the destruction. The Sayed Hashumi Reference Library was founded by the martyr Professor Saba Dashtyari. It is a research institution for the Balochi language and our cultural heritage. It is the first and only reference library on Baloch history and culture in the world and serves as a repository of all rare Balochi periodicals and books. We will never allow such atrocities to destroy our ecology and culture under the guise of development for the elite and exploiters. #SayadHashmiReferenceLibrary #SayNoToMalirExpressway
