NAUSHAHRO FEROZE, Sept 18: The members of Kandiaro taluka council on Monday expressed their concern over the worsening law and order situation, poor sanitation and shortage of water in the town.

Taluka Naib Nazim Shaukat Sehto presided over the council’s meeting.

A member, Hameeda Begum Kaimkhani, complained that sanitary staff had failed to maintain cleanliness in the town, which had led to an outbreak of malaria and gastroenteritis. Besides, the taluka hospital was short of medicines, she said.

Another member, Mukhtiar Mangrio, complained about worsening law and order situation and said that the incidents of motorcycle-snatching had become a routine but the police were no doing enough to control the crime.

There was acute shortage of water in the minors because the irrigation officials were selling water, alleged Bakht Ali Kalhoro.

Mazhar Abbasi pointed out the fact that neither any official from police nor from revenue or other departments bothered to attend the session to give answers to their complaints.

Taluka Nazim Sarfaraz Ali Shah assured the members that their problems would be taken up with the concerned departments and the officials would be directed to make it a priority to attend the council’s session.
