LARKANA, July 15: Three youngsters consumed poisonous substance in three separate incidents to commit suicide on Wednesday. Bashir Lakho, Aslam Lashari and Nadeem Shaikh of Kambar, Warah and Larkana, respectively, were admitted to the Chandka Medical College Hospital , where they were treated by doctors.

DEMONSTRATION: Residents of Ratodero town on Wednesday held a demonstration against an unannounced electricity loadshedding. Local Sindh Tarqi Passand party leaders, Akhtar Buledi and Tufaiq Abro, led the protest.

The protestors carried banners and placards. They gathered at the main bus terminal where they burnt tyres and staged a sit-in. They demanded that the Hesco SDO should be transferred.

PROTEST: Farmers of the Mastoi water channel staged a demonstration on Wednesday against the shortage of irrigation water. Activists of the Tarqi Passand Hari Sangat also joined the protest.

They blocked traffic to Larkana and Dadu by staging a sit-in on the main road. Local STPP leaders, Khair Mohammed Magsi and Ahmed Nawaz Brohi, and others speaking on the occasion alleged that under a conspiracy Sindh was being ruined by the government.

They said that water channels in Shahdadkot were without water and anxiety-wrapped growers were looking for any improvement in water flow to save their paddy crop.
