Sujawal: A protest demonstration led by Anwar Khaskeli and Muneer Shah of Jeay Sindh Qaumi Party was held in Darro town of district Sujawal for the desilting and maintenance of water canals and Sim Nullahs to avoid the flood-like situation during the upcoming Monsoon season.
The demonstrators said that they had faced huge losses during the previous monsoon season and were not compensated yet, they further said that their crops were submerged last year following indecorous maintenance of water channels and any such situation again would worsen their financial condition.
They alleged that the officials of the irrigation department were not taking proper measures for the desilting of irrigation channels in the area and warned to widen their scope of protest if the officials continued with their lethargic attitude.
An armed clash between two rival groups of the Panhwer and Bukero community left three injured critically here on Monday. They were said to be at odds over a land dispute for many years. The injured were rushed to the nearest government hospital where they were provided with first aid. A first information report of the incident was yet to be registered.
