HYDERABAD, May 24: The chairman of the Sindh Taraqi Pasand Party, Dr Qadir Magsi, has said that his party and the people of Sindh will not accept any interim NFC award. In a statement issued here on Monday, he accused the rulers of Sindh of being surrogates of Punjab and the federal government.

He said provincial Finance Minister Syed Sardar Ahmed had failed to persuade the federal government to reconstitute the NFC award.

He said the rulers were not in a position to represent the cause of their people and for that reason they had no right to remain in power.

Mr Magsi said under a conspiracy, the Punjab and federal governments were trying to destroy Sindh’s economy.

He said the people of Sindh would not accept the sixth NFC award unless it was based on resources and income generation.

He said the Punjab and federal governments were mainly responsible for the inordinate delay in reconstitution of the sixth NFC award.

EDO: EDO agriculture Shahabuddin Siddiqui has called upon all manufacturers of parabolic structures to ensure the supply of qualitative production of parabolic structure in order to address complaints of farmers about non-provision of qualitative structure for field works being carried out under the National Programme of Improvement of Watercourses.

At a meeting about availability of quality parabolic structure in the district held here on Tuesday, the EDO said that the purpose to hold this meeting was to address complaints of growers about using below-standard parabolic structure for fields that affected the programme of ongoing development work.

He urged the representatives of all factories manufacturing parabolic structure in Hyderabad to use high quality of cement.
