Sindh govt urged to resist shifting of lands to Punjab
SUKKUR, Nov 13: Former MNA Mian Abdul Haq, the president, Sindh Hari Committee, Mandal Shar, PPP general secretary, Ghotki District, Jam Mehtab Khan Dahar, and STPP leader Jam Abdul Fateh Samejo demanded the Sindh Government not to have 20 Dehs of taluka Obauro, district Ghotki, shifted to Rahimyar Khan district, Punjab, otherwise they would hold demonstrations against the Punjab government.
Addressing a press conference at the Daharki Press Club on Wednesday, they said that the Punjab Government had sent a letter to the district administration of Ghotki including the DDO and Mukhtiarkar Ubaro in which it was suggested that 20 Dehs of Ghotki District be given to the province.
Besides, the share of water of these lands, which was cultivated through the Sehar Wah (i.e. canal), was also given to Rahimyar Khan District.
The Dehs which have demanded are Deh Kamo Shaheed, Deh Ghano, Deh Poa-I, Deh Poa-II, Deh Khairan Jeho, Deh Maring Goro, Deh Chah Chakar, Deh Samilo, Deh Sejan, Deh Goram Chachar, Deh Naseer Dhandlo, and Deh Kehar besides eight others.
They said that if the district government of Ghotki District gave away these areas, which came to a total area of one-fourth of Daharki District, it would be gross injustice towards the people of the area.
They demanded the government to reverse the decision before the law and order situation went out of control.
ACCIDENT: A constable, M Hasan Shaikh, was crushed to death under the wheels of a truck on the National Highway, near Mirpur Mathelo, on Monday night.
The truck driver, Shahnawaz Maher, was arrested.
BOY KILLED: A boy, Zulfiqar Chandio (12), was crushed to death under the wheels of a vehicle on the National Highway, near the Sadhoja bus stop, on Tuesday.
The driver fled away immediately.
