Chandi Ghar, put up by Gul Bahao at Ibrahim Hyderi a couple of months ago, has stood up to the devastating cyclone hitting the coast and is as good as it was made first. While several of these pre-fabricated structures were sent to Mansehra at the time of the earthquake; the one at Ibrahim Hyderi is the first to have been sold to any party in Karachi.
This is not to say that the Chandi Ghar is totally new to Karachi, thousands if not lakhs of people have seen or read about it. Chandi Ghar is made up of used but clean plastic waste like shopping bags to form what is called Wastic Blocks, an alternative to concrete blocks. The second and more easily available component of the pre-fabricated structure is the Pana-flex Panel; again this uses used flexed material and cardboard.-PR
