Activists of TNSM reorganizing

Published June 26, 2003

MINGORA, June 25: The banned Tehrik Nifaz-i-Shariat Muhammadi (TNSM) has again started activities for reorganizing the group in different districts. The activities are reported, but the activists are avoiding issuing statements to the press.

A TNSM leader on the condition of anonymity told this reporter here on Monday that their first priority was to get Sufi Muhammad, Amir of TNSM, released from the jail, adding that the reorganization of the movement was a second priority.

He said that the government of Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) had totally disappointed them, which did nothing for the release of Sufi Muhammad and others.

The provincial government had also failed to send a delegation to Afghanistan to contact the Afghan authorities for the release of the detained Pakistanis, the TNSM leader said.

He said that the TNSM had supported the MMA in the last general elections, so that the MMA government would extend support to the oppressed people, but it failed to do so.

VEGETABLE OIL: At least 23,396 canisters of vegetable oil will be distributed through different health centres in Swat district in order to keep the mothers and children of the region in good health.

A meeting of the district health management team (DHMT) was held here on Saturday at the office of Executive District Health Officer (EDHO) Swat, Muhammad Azim Khan.

It was decided in the meeting that proper medical facilities to mothers and children would be ensured and vegetable oil would be distributed among the pregnant women through 48 health centres in Swat.
