SEHWAN: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has taken notice of the dumping of remains of the victims of the suicide attack on the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar at a garbage heap and in an open drain in Sehwan and ordered an inquiry into the matter.

He assigned the inquiry to Hyderabad division commissioner Kazi Shahid Pervaiz and asked him to send him a report as soon as possible.

The body parts of the blast victims were dumped at the garbage heap and in the drain by unidentified people on Friday night. On Saturday the area people saw dogs and crows near the human limbs and organs at the spot.

Sources told Dawn that workers of the Sehwan town committee had collected the remains of the victims while cleaning the place of the explosion on Friday night.
