Some taxi drivers whose taxi base is next to the Samabula Post Office are pleading with authorities to look into the plight of three men and a woman who do not have a shelter and are sleeping next to the Samabula Post Office every night.

55-year-old taxi driver, Mirja Ahmed Sharif says these four people have been sleeping next to the Samabula Post Office for sometime now.

Sharif says out of the four, they assume two are mentally challenged and need help.

We have sent questions to the Permanent Secretary for Ministry of Poverty Alleviation, Jennifer Poole.
