    Bara Kahu is one of the largest union councils in Islamabad, Pakistan, home to over 11,000 residents from diverse cultural backgrounds across Pakistan. As a mix of cultures, Bara Kahu was preferred for its cheaper housing and utilities costs compared to other areas, though land prices have risen. However, basic infrastructure like roads, drainage, garbage collection and traffic remain problems. The author questions whether the Prime Minister of Pakistan, who won the 2018 election in Union Council 5 where Bara Kahu is located, has visited the area since or directed the elected member of the National Assembly to address the issues facing this marginalized community.

    Voice of Marginalized Barakahu, Islamabad

    By Abid Hussain
    abidhussain@issi.org.pk

    Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan named Capital Territory Islamabad (ICT). Islamabad Union
    Council is 50 in numbers. Bara Kahu is one of the biggest union councils of Islamabad known as Kot
    Hathiyal which has been further divided in Bhera Syedan, Nain Sukh, Madina Town, Muhallah
    Ghousia, Dhok Jillani, Muhallah Malikabad, Muhallah Dhok Syedan, etc. According to Pakistan
    Bureau statistic report of 2018, currently, more than 1, 19034 people are residing in Bhara Kahu.
    Barakahu is a place of amalgamated culture, where peoples from Murree, Kashmir, Chitral, KPK,
    FATA, Sindh, Baluchistan and Hazara are living in numbers. Apart from these masses, number of
    minorities is also dwellings. The mix breed culture preferred this place, because of cheapest rates in
    term of housings and utilities, but not at all, the rate of plot fee Marla is touching the rate of Bahria
    Town. Still, people often considered this place, the adjacent their offices, schools, colleges etc. The
    Quad-E-Azam University, one of the top universities in Pakistan is situated in ten minutes walking
    distance from Athaal chowk and the total distance between Prime Minister Secretariat Islamabad and
    Bara Kahu is 12.3 km. About 27 mins drive. Now coming to the disparity of masses in Bara Kahu, the
    conditions of Roads are presenting a picture of old relics earlier in 500 B.C. the drainage system
    presenting a land of dancing pools in the roads, especially, Kiyani Road which lead to Quaid-e-Azam
    University. The garbage in mid of road amusing everyone while walking, the traffic problem while
    driving a car. Although, The Union Council Five is constituency of Prime Minister Imran Khan who
    won the contest of election in 2018 with a big margin. My Question is from the Prime Minister
    Islamic Republic Pakistan, whether after winning the 2018 election in Union Council 5, have you ever
    visited this constituency? With due apologies If not visited, then ask from the elected ministers, in NA-
    53 (Islamabad-II) who won with good margin. You may direct him to go and get this margenlized
    Barakahu out from such problems.
