HYDERABAD, Aug 19: The Qasimabad Dost Panel has opposed a proposal of the DCO to hand over Rani Bagh (municipal garden) to the district government. It warned that if the proposal was accepted by the government, people would resist the move and the DCO would be responsible for consequences.
Speaking at a news conference at the press club on Friday, candidates of nazim and naib nazim for UC-2, Mehboob Abro and Imam Ali Ansari, claimed that according to the revenue record, Rani Bagh was the property of Qasimabad taluka.
They said this recreational spot was only worthwhile property of the taluka valued at billions of rupees.
They said conspiracies had been afoot to transfer this property to Latifabad or Hyderabad city talukas on ethnic basis.
They said the builders’ mafia was playing a indirect role to deprive Qasimabad of this precious property.
They said it was being argued that the Qasimabad taluka administration was incapable of managing this property.
How can this property be managed without provincial and district government financial assistance, they asked.
They said the DCO had written a letter to the adviser to the Sindh chief minister for transferring Rani Bagh to the district government. They said the DCO was responsible for bifurcating Hyderabad district.
They said if the recommendation was accepted, there would be strong reaction from the people of Qasimabad. They said in the previous administration, nazims of Qasimabad had failed to carry out any development works in the taluka. They said even drinking water was not available to the people.
They appealed to the people to vote for Qasimabad Dost Panel and held out an assurance that they would leave no stone unturned in the development of Qasimabad.
