LARKANA, Oct 26: The stage is set in Naudero, the hometown of Ms Benazir Bhutto to receive her, on Saturday.

Naudero, Garhi Khuda Bakhsh Bhutto and Larkana wear a festive look where huge posters of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Ms Benazir Bhutto are being displayed at key points of the city which reflected the enthusiastic mood of the people.

Several barricades have been erected on the roads leading to Naudero House where the entire security have been assigned to the men of Zardari clan called in from Nawabshah in coordination with the local police authorities.

Khursheed Junejo, former district nazim Larkana and the constituency in-charge of Ms Benazir Bhutto told ‘Dawn’ that it was yet not decided either she would directly come to Garhi Khuda Bakhsh Bhutto after landing at Sukkur airport or go her house in Naudero.
