MITHI, Nov 17: The residents of Malahnore Veena village, Mithi taluka, have urged the provincial government to provide a road, water supply and electricity to the village.

The villagers said that though the minister for works and services, Arbab Ghulam Rahim and MPA Rajvir Singh had announced during their visit to the village that a road, water and electricity would be provided to the village but no practical steps had been taken so far.
