HYDERABAD, Dec 9: A group of activists of the Sindhi Hari Tehrik staged a protest demonstration and a sit-in outside the press club here on Monday.

Led by Sindhiani Tehrik president Ms Nazeer Qureshi, they were protesting against the registration of what they called a false case against two Hari leaders by the Tando Mohammad Khan police.

Speaking at the rally, Ms Qureshi, Ali Mardan Rind and others alleged the police had taken money from Krishan Kolhi for the registration of a kidnapping case against Anwar Rind and Teerath Das.

They warned if no action was taken against Krishan Kolhi and the Tando Mohammad Khan police, protest demonstrations would be held throughout the province.

PH.D ALLOWANCE: The authorities of the Sindh Agriculture University, Tando Jam, notified on Monday the Ph.D allowance of 55 teachers of the university had been increased from Rs1,500 to Rs5,000 per month with effect from July 1, 2001.

The beneficiaries include three former vice-chancellors, Dr Rajab Ali Memon, Dr Abdul Qadir Mughal and Dr Bashir Ahmad Shaikh, and the sitting vice-chancellor, Dr Bashir Ahmad Chandio.

SIDA: The managing director, Sindh Irrigation and Drainage Authority, Mumtaz Ali Memon, has dispelled the impression that the irrigation staff being transferred to Sida will be dismissed from service.

In a statement issued here on Monday, he said such reports were false.
