SIALKOT, May 21: The district government will give a compensation of Rs3,000 each to those farmers whose standing wheat crops were gutted in Indian shelling on Sialkot working boundary’s sectors.

This was stated on Tuesday by the district Nazim during his visit to the villages where the Indians played havoc.

He said the relief package was announced by the Sialkot government in Jan 2002, adding the package was yet to be implemented owing to negligence of the authorities concerned. He said the district government had declared 95 border villages in Sialkot calamity-hit. — Correspondent
