Bhutta Village (Urdu: بھٹا گاوں) is a village in Karachi, Pakistan,[1] which is near Keamari and the Karachi Port.
Bhutta village faces significant administrative neglect. The mostly unplanned settlement suffers from a lack of basic infrastructure, with narrow streets, no streetlights, and unpaved lanes.[2]
History[edit]
Bhutta Village is situated south of Chinna Creek. Once submerged by the sea and enveloped in mangrove swamps, the area underwent significant transformation through deforestation and land reclamation, leading to the establishment of the settlement. Originally known as Jungleabad (Urdu: جنگل آباد) due to the abundant mangrove trees that once thrived here, Bhutta's evolution reflects Karachi's relentless expansion and human colonisation at the expense of nature.
There are several different castes living over here including Pathans and Kutchi that makes up to 90% population of this town.[2] Other peoples are Punjabi Arain, Sindhi, Hazara and now growing population of Balochi peoples who are migrating from Lyari Town because of a Gang War Operation.
