MITHI, March 20: A session of the Tharparkar district council held here on Tuesday has demanded digging of wells, installation of tubewells and construction of school buildings in different villages of Thar.

Forty-five members attended the session while 14 boycotted it for about 15 minutes at its beginning. However, they resumed their seats later.
