DADU, April 30: A woman from Sehwan town has appealed to the president, the chief justice of the Supreme Court to provide her protection from an influential doctor and relatives of her late husband. The widow, Mah Bibi, 70, wife of Ibrahim Baloch, said that they were issuing threats and forcing her to leave her house.

She was talking to reporters at her house on Sunday.

She said that a medical officer of the Sindh health department had rented her shop but was not paying rent for eight years.

She said that close relatives of her husband were issuing threats of dire consequences and asking her to leave Sehwan as they wanted to occupy property worth Rs3.5 million including her two shops, house and a plot.

She said that when her husband was alive, he had gifted property to her and had made entry in the revenue record of form No-11 but when her husband died, the record of her property was cancelled by the revenue officer of Sehwan.

She expressed fears that she would be killed if protection was not provided to her.

DEMAND: Residents of different villages of Khudaabad and Phakka union councils held a demonstration outside the press club on Sunday in protest against encroachment on the historical remains of the Kalhoro dynasty.

Office-bearers of the Sindh Abbasi-Kalhoro Tanzeem Khuda Bux Kalhoro, Maula Bux Kalhoro, Rafique Abbasi Kalhoro and Munawar Kalhoro led the protesters.

Speaking on the occasion, they said that influential people had occupied about 200 acres land of Yar Mohammad Kalhoro and demanded that the case should be registered against encroachers.

They demanded that historical mosque of Khudabad and tomb of Mian Yar Mohammad Kalhoro should be handed over to the archaeology department and facilities be provided to visitors.

They also appealed to the district nazim and the Dadu DCO to take notice of the matter and ensure protection and preservation of all historical places in Khudabad town.
