SUKKUR, June 17: Hundreds of residents and shopkeepers of the Sarafa Bazaar, Sukkur, are suffering great difficulties due to a power breakdown which started on Sunday night.

The power was not restored till the filing of this news.

Wapda officials claimed that they were short of transformers and the damaged transformers were being repaired, which would take some time.

The residents of the area said that 24 hours had lapsed but the transformer had not even been dismantled so far, so how could they be repaired.

Hesco officials had collected thousands of rupees from the area for replacing the transformers.

TWO KILLED: Armed men shot dead a man, Mohammed Panah (23), and a woman, Pyari, in the Thul District, Jacobabad, on Monday on the pretext of Karo-kari.

However, Gulab, the brother of Mr Panah, told the police that his maternal uncle, Bilawal, was behind the killings. He said that the enmity between them was over a piece of land.

No FIR had been registered till the filing of this report.

JI: The Amir Jamaat-i-Islami, Sindh, Asadullah Bhutto, said that until Kashmir was not included in Pakistan, its geographical boundary would remain incomplete.

He said this while addressing a gathering in the Ubaidi Hall on Monday.
