LARKANA, April 7: Sindh Peoples’ Party Parliamentarians chief Nisar Ahmed Khuhro, expressing concern over deteriorating law and order situation in the province, has alleged that the provincial government has failed to provide security of life to the people.

He said this here on Sunday while offering condolence to the Shaikh family over the death of its three members who had been murdered on Friday night in Ali Goharabad.

Mr Khuhro said that lawlessness was prevailing in the province whereas the rulers were busy saving their offices.

He recalled that before the triple murder, a head master of a high school was killed in the same area and a few days back 14 persons were killed and eight kidnapped in Kashmor town.

Terming the incidents an ample proof of the inefficiency of the provincial government, the PPP leader demanded early arrest of the killers.

ENCROACHMENTS: Speakers at a tree planting ceremony held here on Sunday, criticizing apathy of local municipal administration towards prevalent encroachments in the city’s graveyard, demanded punitive action against the land grabbers.

Speaking at the ceremony organized by an NGO, Earth Lovers’ Society, Liberal Forum chief Amanullah Shaikh, Zulfikar Rajpar and others said that land grabbers had encroached upon a part of the Abubakar Graveyard and constructed houses there.

Garage owners and shopkeepers threw waste in the graveyard but the municipal management did not take any notice of it, they said.

They demanded of the city municipal administration to take strict action against the land grabbers and construct a boundary wall around the graveyard.
