DADU, Sept 4: On the call of the Johi taluka PPP, a large number of growers and party activists took out a rally in Johi on Monday to protest against an acute shortage of water in Chinjani, Lakha, Noonari and Chhinni waterways originating from the Johi branch.

They were led by PPP taluka president Bashir Ahmed Thaheem and Abadgar Association chairman Ghulam Qadir Rind.

The leaders alleged that irrigation officials were selling water to influential landlords at the head of the Dadu Canal hence tail-end growers were not getting water.

They appealed to the provincial irrigation minister, Nadir Akmal Leghari, to direct irrigation officials to provide tail-end growers water of their share.
