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]
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.
Bhutta Village boasts a strong tradition in football and cricket, the two most popular sports in the area. The village is home to two football clubs: Keamari Mohammadan, an over 100 year old football club, established in the 1900s.[citation needed] This club has an impressive record, having won nearly every major local trophy in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, making it the most successful club in the history of Keamari Town.[citation needed] The second notable club is Bhutta Mohammadan, which also contributes to the village’s rich sporting culture.[citation needed]
