DISTRICT COUNCIL: The district council condemned the water shortage in Sindh at its meeting held here on Wednesday. Speaking on the occasion, Rasoolabad union council Nazim Abdul Aziz Bhambhro alleged that an artificial shortage of water for irrigation purpose had been created in Sindh, which was affecting its rural economy.
He said that 80 per cent of the land falling at tail-end of water channels did not receive water in Sindh. He alleged that more water than Punjab's share was being released into Taunsa, Jhelum, Chashma and other canals of the province from the Indus river, which was causing shortage in Sindh.
On a point of order, Awam Dost Panel member Ghazala Siyal said that the executive district officer of the education department had been suspended on corruption charge three months ago but he had again been posted in the district.
However, Khairpur Dost Panel members, Nisar Bhambhro, Khadim Mirani, Shahzad Ali Shah Jilani, and others supported the EDO, which led to an exchange of hot words between the two groups.
