KHAIRPUR, Feb 15: The shortage of water in Sindh will soon be overcome and no political pressure will be tolerated towards curbing of the water theft.

According top details, four persons attacked Mumtaz Ali, son of Alam Khan Soho, and beat him with iron rods while he (Mumtaz) was sitting in a local hotel. He was rushed to a local hospital and was later transferred to a hospital in Nawabshah where he succumbed to his injuries.
