The Sindh High Court on Tuesday directed the secretary of the social welfare department to arrange some surprise visits to all orphanages of the province so that the actual position could be placed on record and it could be ascertained whether they were maintaining all beneficial conditions for the dwellers.
The direction came during a hearing of a petition filed by Pakisan Tehreek-e-Insaf MPA Rabia Azfar seeking strict implementation of the Sindh orphanages law and the Sindh Darul Atfal rules, as well as the issuance of a direction to the provincial government to formulate an adoption policy.
