DANNO used to be green, cultivated and dotted with trees. But now it is more like a jungle of concrete as construction frenzy has taken over.
The Ehsaas programme’s office in Dalbandin, the headquarters of Chagai district, is located here. Bagum Baloch, a woman in her 20s and acid attack survivor, is visiting the office for registering her name as a beneficiary so that she could receive a monthly payment of Rs6,000.
Being an acid attack survivor, she is shunned by other women because of her disfigured face as well as for being a “Lori” (belonging to the lower strata of Baloch society). But she has got used to the ostracism by now.
