DADU, April 23: Foundation stones for six water supply and drainage schemes were laid in four villages of taluka Khairpur Nathan Shah and Mehar here on Monday.

MPA of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Imran Zafar Leghari laid the stones for the schemes in Fareedabad, Saeedpur, Aliwal and Mado villages.

He also announced construction of an inn and a road for Fareedabad and three roads linking Kachho with Faridabad.

The schemes, he added, would be financed under the MPA’s funds while the provincial government would finance the facilities including the inn and link roads.

These schemes, he added, have been launched under the special directives of President Asif Ali Zardari.

He slammed the former federal minister Liaquat Ali Jatoi for neglecting these areas.
