MIRPURKHAS: Scores of flood-hit people, including women blocked Mirwah Gorchani-Digri Road in Digri town on Monday in protest against officials of an NGO and Sindh Bank, accusing them of demanding bribe to speed up the process of rebuilding the flood-damaged houses.

The protesters led by Gul Hassan Leghari, Ghulam Nabi Leghari and Dileep Kumar complained to media persons that NRSP in collaboration with Sindh government had planned to rebuild houses of flood victims but the process had been deliberately made slow by officials at Sindh Bank’s Digri branch and the NRSP.

The corrupt officials were not cooperating with flood-affected people, they were demanding bribe for issuing tokens and releasing them money to start the house rebuilding process, they said.
