Naib Nazimeen back referendum

Published April 23, 2002

KHAIRPUR, April 22: The All Sindh Taluka Naib Nazimeen convention held at Pacca Chang on Sunday unanimously supported the presidential referendum.

The convention was presided over by Faqir Nazir Heesbani.

The participants vowed to make the referendum a grand success.

The convention also passed a resolution against the Greater Thal Canal and demanded that the project should be shelved as it was anti-Sindh.

It expressed dismay over the fact that the Taluka Naib Nazimeen had not been given any power under the devolution plan despite the fact that both Nazimeen and Naib Nazimeen had secured equal votes.

They called for their empowerment.

SUICIDE: A man, Bashir Shar (25), committed suicide by taking poison on account of having domestic problems on late Saturday night in the Sallah Shar village, Faiz Ganj Taluka.

DPO: The district police officer, Khairpur, Abdul Khalique Shaikh, said that the police would not arrest anyone without the registration of an FIR.

He was speaking at a seminar on The Police, the Press and the Public.

He said that police officials were public servants and that he had directed them not to make proxy arrests or detain people in lieu of wanted people.

He said similarly no woman will be arrested unless she was involved in a heinous crime.

He assured that the policemen would be dealt with in accordance with the law in case they were found guilty of any crime or breaking the law.
