Qayyumabad
Qayyumabad (Urdu: قیوم آباد) is a suburb of Korangi Town in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.[1] Confined within 109 acres, Qayyumabad is one of the most densely populated and polluted residential areas of Karachi. It is home to more than 70,000 people — including Pakhtun, Punjabi, Sindhi, Baloch and Urdu-speaking ethnicities, as well as Christians and scheduled caste Hindus. A report by Dawn suggests that DHA has illegally grabbed 53 acres belonging to Qayyumabad.[2]
History
Qayyumabad is named after Begum Qayyum.[3]
