LARKANA, April 9: Lawmakers belonging to the Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarian demanded on Sunday that the district governments of Karachi and Hyderabad should stop demolishing old villages. The action was aimed at turning locals into a minority, said MNAS’ Anwar Bhutto, Shahid Hussain Bhutto and MPA Ayaz Soomro in a statement issued here by the PPP media cell.

Kidnapping and robberies had become order of the day, they said, citing example of Hamadullah Mirani, a student of fifth class, who was kidnapped a couple of days ago, but police failed to know his whereabouts.

ACCIDENT: The man admitted in the Chandka Medical College hospital with serious injuries, Ghulam Rasol Mahar, died on Sunday.
