LARKANA: A cell has been established at the Larkana commissioner’s office with the aim of protecting minorities’ rights.

It will work in the light of Dr Shoaib Suddle Commission’s recommendations, according to a handout issued by the information department.

The cell would work to safeguard minorities’ rights including protecting temples and other places of worship as well as religious properties in the division.
