LARKANA, April 13: The Larkana district council in its session on Thursday condemned the demolition of old Sindhi villages in Karachi and Hyderabad.

It demanded that the Sindh government should regularize these villages.

In a resolution Badar Abbasi accused the Karachi city government of uprooting old villages and emphasised to lease out plots to Sindhis instead of illegal immigrants.

He said that Sindh’s contributions in the creation of Pakistan remained on top and alleged the key coalition partner in the Sindh government should be held responsible for the deprivation of old settlements.

Fayyaz Bhutto, Ali Gohar Bhatti and Barkat Shaikh supporting the resolution called for unanimous adaptation of the resolution.

It was later passed unanimously.

Ali Raza Shah moving a resolution said that all development works in the district should be carried out through UC nazims.

He said that people who voted them to houses were questioning about undertaking development schemes in their constituencies.

Endorsing the move, Khair Mohammed Shaikh and Babu Serwar Siyal said that the Sindh Local Government Ordinance 2001 was quite about executing development schemes through union nazims.

They said that there seems no harm in referring the case to the government for seeking guidelines to satisfy the people of constituencies.

The meeting supporting the view point referred the proposal to the Sindh government.
