PROTEST PUT OFF: The farmers of the Puran distribuary postpond their protest in Kot Ghulam Mohammad on Friday after being assured by the irrigation officers that water would be provided to them within two days.
Over 200 farmers, led by Chaudhry Saeed and Mir Akhtar Talpur, had been holding protest demonstrations and staging sit- ins in the towns for the last three days to protest against acute shortage of water in the water channel for a month.
During Friday's protest, they told journalists that water, being supplied to the land of influential landlords, was stolen from the head of the distributary, depriving tail-enders of their share of water with the result that their crops were damaged.
