LARKANA, July 30: Unidentified saboteurs attempted to blow up two pylons of 500KV high power transmission line of the national transmission and distribution circuit (NTDC) on Friday night. The blasts caused damages to three pillars of two pylons near Abdullah Dakhan and Gul Mohammed Khoso villages on Larkana-Ratodero and Larkana-Qambar roads.
