Police prevent growers from staging demo
MIRPURKHAS, Feb 4: Over two hundred growers of tail-end of Mirpur Shakh, who wanted to stage protest demonstration against the acute shortage of irrigation water, were stopped by the police from entering the Mirpurkhas city on Monday.
They were stopped at Nawab petrol pump on Umerkot road.
The protesters complained that big landlords of their area were getting undue share of water, even through theft, as a result of which the tail-enders were being deprived of their due share of water.
