KARACHI, May 6 Matters pertaining to hosting of the 12th Sindh Games were discussed at the first formal meeting of the organising committee held in Larkana, the venue for the event, on Wednesday.

The four-day Games are set to take place from May 28-31.

Organising secretary Ahmed Ali Rajput who is also secretary Sindh Olympic Association (SOA), said the meeting was attended among others by representatives of police, education and health departments besides boy scouts.

EDO Finance Mohammad Din Jakhrani chaired the meeting in the absence of chairman organising committee, DCO Larkana Jaffer Abbasi who was busy elsewhere.

Ahmed Ali, who had specially gone to Larkana to oversee the arrangements, told Dawn that EDO Finance issued necessary instructions to taluka nazim to organise the games in exemplary manner.

He reminded the participants that it was Larkana that played host to the inaugural edition of the games way back in 1986.
