some influential elements have illegally occupied the piece of land registered in the name of social activist Ali Akbar Rahimoo of Umerkot.

Rahmoo is working hard to educate Tharis by running 49 Sindh Education Foundation-supported schools for 7,000 disadvantaged children in remote areas of Tharparkar and Umerkot.

Through the Association for Water, Applied Education and Renewable Energy organisation, Mr Rahmoon has spread light to hundreds of hamlets through solar power and also helped women reduce their backbreaking exercise of extracting water from deep wells.

The ruling party instead should take notice of the matter and ensure his hard work does not go waste.
